Alloys D3 > D4?

I see that the D4 wheels are a different style from the D3 Very Happy and that they now have 9Jx19" 255/50R19 107 tyres rather than the 255/55 R19 111's of the D3 Shocked
Anyone know if the D3 alloys are interchangeable/useable with the D4, either with the 55 tyres or changing to 50 aspects?
And what is the issue with the reduction in the weight capacity rating Shocked (surely the Disco hasn't been on a diet Razz )

Taken straight from the handbook on OwnerInfo...


I'm surprised, not only has the load weighting dropped from the D3 but so has the size if you go over 18" Confused
Suspect D4's will suffer from more punctures than D3s Rolling Eyes

Slimer - yes that's what surprised me, as I'd thought the extra weight of the Disco was why we had to watch not to use the RRS sized wheel/tyre combination Shocked

By that sizing, the 19" wheels & tyres will be smaller than all the others, so I suspect a typo.

Thanks Ken - so yet another error in the LR literature. Evil or Very Mad Really high time that management got an almighty shake-out there and put proper quality control systems in place - tempting to try to work out a means of getting that message through to the powers that be in India Shocked

What tyre ratings are posted on the bottom of the door (at least here in Oz that is the "legal" set of ratings)?

OZ gets something different to the UK, as even on the D3, 109 tyres are OK and listed on your door label, but 111 is on the UK label (I know as the two labels have different part numbers)

so that pic above could be the Oz one.

Pic was taken from the online version of the UK handbook, suspect it's a miss-print from the RRS one though Rolling Eyes
Can someone with a D4 tell us what their printed handbook and door sticker says?
