Ride is definitely smoother and quieter with less crashing over the bumps and potholes. I’ve not get so far that I’m noticing much of difference in cornering yet. Acceleration wise maybe a little bit less, but it’s really not a car to be pushed I don’t think. Speedo wise, I’ve not compared against the gps, but I am aware of the difference posed.

Aye … looks like it, just tried it out and tpms isn’t an option to disable on the tool…. Sigh. Why does it have to be so bloody hard to do the simplest of things. V8 or else ... |

is that via the beta testing program of the iidtool, which I think you need to ask GAP to be added into ? I'll need to update my tool as I've not done it in a while.

I hear ya there, a bit balloon like. But given the price I’ll just run them down and replace with something chunky shouldered in time.

For a comparison, I have a set on my Discovery fitted with BFG A/T 275/55's
