Slimer:
There isn't much in the way of mud tyres available yet, I use Cooper STTs which do the job nicely, though as has been said D3s are blooming good on standard road tyres. It's true that the electrickery does a lot of the work for you but I find it allows you to concentrate more on where you're going next and getting the right line rather than working how to get through the bit you're currently on.
The biggest problem with the D3 is the weight, you can get bogged down in places a lighter vehicle would get out of fairly easily, there again with the gadgets you can wander up hills on tickover that others need a long run up and plenty or revs to get up.
I hope your worries about the electronics don't come true coz I intend on keeping mine for a long time yet!

some magazine comparisons are rubbish arent they - what happened to the good old days with proper head to heads of products and tables of results for us to ponder then a proper conclusion?

just look at those LRO product comparsions of late - they are useless ie snorkles, tyres, handwinches...etc etc.. they just arent helpful at all and are missed opportunites for proper info to enter a magazine.

I reckon that they are just either crap at reviews or are too biased cos of  freebies they may have had.

Thrasher:
I thought the Goodyear Wrangler MT/R fitted the D3? I have a set for the Range Rover....with them on the traction systems barely fire!

They do on the 19" rims (as used on the G4 D3s) the Coopers fit the 17" rims so you get more sidewall to play with.

Thrasher:
What sort of wierd-ass size is a 17" rim?????? No wonder there are not many tyres for that!
