    The location for a switch panel in the Red Cross disco is pretty clever (and neat)

    Yes it looks like we can now get the correct size 255/55/R20 Duratrac tyres now. Previously it was only 255/65/R20 I believe?

    275/55-20 was the closest I could find. I still prefer the little bit of extra sidewall the 275 provides over the 255 section when off-road, and I don't think they're any heavier than a 255 with Kevlar armor would be....

    Duratrac’s will be fitted on mine as soon as the factory tyres needs changing. They’re a great tyre on and off road. Far better in my experience than the Grabber AT2 when I swapped to them on my D4.

    +1, had exactly the same experience with my D4, main problem with the Grabbers AT2 was aqua planning, at least for me. And the Duratrecs did a bit better in mud. But never tested the AT3... so can’t really compare these.

    Good to hear. When my OEM's are worn later in the year I'll be swapping.
    Would have done it earlier but my other vehicle is shod with Grabber X3's MT's so not really needed them. Cool

    I’m very happy Smile

    I think they look good and more importantly they are perfect for my use out here at the weekends off road. A bit noisy on tarmac but no big deal for me.

    It’s up in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah which is about an hour drive out of Dubai. Fantastic terrain to explore and really lets me use the D5 in the way it’s meant to be used.
