Well done - great to see one off-tarmac and enjoying itself on tricky terrain. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Tyres are General GRABBER UHP 275/45-19. They gave quite a good grip, but it was dry. If there would have been more moisture it would have been quite a bit more difficult. There were some D3's and one D4 whit less agressive onroad tyres that had bit of a problems. You have to be carefull not to ruin your wheels. 19" wheel is defenately not the best for offroading. But its not so easy to find wheels for RRS whit Brembro brakes.

I have driven the same route whit my D1 whit propper mud tyres, I didn't expect that I could get to those places this my RRS on those tyres. big for LR and General. Some one knows what they are doing.
