Your D2 looks great and the wheel/tire combo is sweet! I'm not sure why but the Kumho MT71's are ~10lbs heavier (56lbs each) than other brands MT. I got some for my 3.9 RRC and really dislike the extra weight during driving and when I rotate or change tires. Steel wheels + MT71s are a workout! I'm looking at going to Cooper Discoverer STT Pro for the RRC and either selling or putting the MT71s on the D2.

 

check out the general grabber x3, been super pleased with my set and have a few other friends running them with good results.

 

Yes, the Kumo is not light most E rated in this category and size are about 53-55lbs with the Cooper being the exception at 48-49lbs. Pricey too. I weighed this set up to my stock and the difference is about 12-13 lbs. per corner, about 80 lbs vs 67ish. I think the stock Hurricane 18" alloy is a heavy wheel, the massive Rover lug nuts that go with them weigh over 10lbs. I loaded the tires after mounting into the truck by rolling them up a 2x4 to the bumper. This entire set up would have been more practical with all terrain vs mud tires but when I decided to do it I went mud because why not. Guessing the 3.9 in the Rangie might struggle more with the weight and diameter increase, could be a gearing difference as well. I can feel it at dead start but not much. I know its there but now its the normal. At speed I can't tell at all. The narrow profile might even roll better.

 

Thats nice tire but I don't think they make it in 235/85-16

 

Where are you located? Did I by chance see you driving around the other day? (Looks like Portland OR in the driveway pic)

I was behind a lifted Vienna Green 04 D2 in my Range Rover Classic on Tuesday or Wednesday on Sandy Blvd in NE, admittedly I didn't notice the wheels.

 

I'll take it as a compliment it looks like Portland OR and at times I wish it was. I'm in Kansas City MO.
