Just noticed in the online user manual that the 19" wheels are now 255/50R19 (107). I seem to recall that the D3 was 255/55R19 (111?) - have we now got RRS equivalent wheels/tyres with a lower weight capacity?  Is the D4 lighter than the D3?
Anyone know whether these are still interchangeable with D3 wheel/tyres - I'm thinking of those with a set of winter/off-road wheels which probably have 255/55's.

Some tyre specs on the D4 are different, as the 20" alloys are using 255/50x20's rated at 109, whereas D3 said 111 minimum. I didnt think D4 was lighter, but we know some of the OEM tyre specs were down to supplier agreements/relationships as much as weights.
