2007 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Tonga Green

Smart looking Rangie Noddy - I have the same alloys on mine - I think they suit the chunky looks of these cars perfectly, however . . .

Have you just upgraded from 18" 's or 19" 's and if so, have you noticed any significant changes

I only ask as I had the later 2007 spec 7spoke alloys fitted to my previous car '05 plate TD6 - and never noticed any tyre wear during the whole time I owned it,

then I chopped that in for a '56 plate TDV8 last summer with the 20" 7spoke fitted like yours and I am getting through tyres like you would not believe

I have had my tracking checked and tried to drive like a law abiding citizen should but I am alarmed at how much rubber I am using.

I am doubting the quality of Continental tyres over the Dunlops which I had before - just interested in your thoughts

I really like some of the new 2010 20" wheels, the ones with "RANGE ROVER" cast into one spoke are tasty

Err..no

They are the lightest shade available on the front doors though, running to the (almost) darkest at the back. If you look through the windscreen in the pic, you can see out of the drivers door. The passenger door is an optical illusion!

To be honest, it would have to be a real pedantic cop to stop anyone for front tints (or extremely bored). Ive been out with our traffic guys and they don't care about tints unless they are takin the pee. I've got better things to do than to stop cars for tinted windows. Can't speak for the more "rural" forces, mind!

To be fair, even if you put clear film on glass, it makes it technically illegal as only glass on its own will allow the correct amount of light through.

I like those too. I think these are more in keeping with the car, as I'm led to beleive they were an option?

I have noticed a difference in ride quality, yes. I went from the standard 18"s to these. It's slighter firmer when on the move, but not as bad as I was expecting when stationary with the reported vibration. It does get worse the longer you remain still, so I just pop it into neutral for extended periods of stoppage.
When its on the motorway and the suspension lowers, its great!
The tyres are nearly on the limits and were when I bought them, so I can't really comment on wear at the moment. I'm looking to replace them like for like when they are due. They are currently Michelin Diamaris at the moment. 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded

What shade are the fronts then Noddy?

I also have a Mini with the factory fit privacy glass but it excludes the fronts but i think it looks a bit odd with standard front glass. Dont really want to fall out with the local boys in blue but i know if i put any tint it will probally be illegal so wondererd what would at least look close enough

i don't know what its called, but it was the lightest shade they had at the window tinters. I had lightest (front) mid (rear doors) and dark (back/side windows)
From the side, it just fades backwards nicely. 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded
