Has NOBODY got access to this service bulletin? I thought there were people on here who kept abreast of these things. Will pay their money and have a look at it if no-one else has. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

well I have been super impressed with my verdestein quatrac 3s this winter which have a V rating for speed so no need to adjust limiters. Compared with 'full' winters I have found them just as good climbing and braking but just a little less lateral grip. and way way better than standard all seasons. I would highly recommend for a UK type climate as well...........

Land Rover do recommend one Nokian winter tyre rated T and the Wrangler MT/R rated Q, so I suppose it could be necessary to limit the speed for those or similar tyres in case the driver can't be trusted. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

makes sense - I think T is the same as the SD4 max speed so no margin to spare.? Wouldnt be very popular in Germany where winter tyres are obligatory - and I never see people slowing down on autobahns! |

T is 118 mph. My SD4 will do 130. I'm not fitting T! Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
