It's an auto and I can notice it is much more sluggish now. Went for a 4hr highway drive the other day and noticed I couldn't stay above 100 going up hills. I was being overtaken by Semi's!!! Also noticed bad steering wheel shake when over 105k/hr. Is this what is meant by wheel wobble or should I get the wheel alignment re-done?
It's done 110k and recently had the EGR replaced. Do you think the sluggish performance is due to the tyres or other factors? ie manifold need decarboning. I just took it to the mechanic today to check out.
Edit: Just got my car back....They basically said its sluggish due to the oversized tyres I put on. Also said the manifold is most likely chocked up. Suggested I take it to a diesel mechanic to clean. No charge which was nice. Anyone know where I can take it in Brisbane to get the manifold cleaned out?
Thanks

Read a few threads and all of this one but can't really find a definitive answer.
Will 265/75 R16 fit my stock standard 2012 MN?
Not worried about legalities as I'll try for an engineering Cert etc
More worried about fit and scrubbing.
Thanks in advance.

Yep as naff said easy fit
I have 265 75's on my stock 16" alloys at stock height and no issues at all, even when doing this sort of thing....

different story if you have a 3" exhaust though
