Closest I came as an alternative tyre was Pirelli P7 Cinturato - but although mentioning "LRR" - did not claim it specifically as such. In Sweden another spanner in the works may be "winter tyres"...I asked my dealer to let me know when a new F25 20D comes in - so that I can inspect the tyres as I would like to build a database for when replacement time comes. In May 2011 local dealer actually plans a "tyre day" - will see what info I can get there. Currently with the Dunlops I am happy - they obviously are "summer" tyres for our climate - but drove it in a recent cloudburst and cannot fault them. Regards.

Jan, what was the pricing in Nambia for the 20d? Can it run on 500ppm diesel?
