Might be worth checking with Al Cope - I'm sure I remember him saying to me they were the same wheels and tyres so there was some commonality between the tyre ranges as part of the load rating debate.... Cheers

deffo same wheels!
as said, it's generally the RRS tyre loading that's not up to the D3's requirement. I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Sorry Ken, must have missed an earlier thread  ....
What size are the BFG tyres you are getting? The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us yet.
