The D max comes standard with 245 /70/ 16 tyres after much thought I decided to put 245 /75 /16 on. On the black top good move, does it easy. In the bush just as good, low range is better.
However Towing !!! Different kettle of fish, whilst only have towed for a few K's (50 )prior to leaving on sat, the D max was working harder and now seemed to struggled in 5th. Don't normally tow in 5th but last hols used 5th when could and max handled it easy, not now. Will get a better idea after the hols , but WOW the different aspect ratio between 70 and 75 when towing really plays a part. Now thinking of a chip.
Caravan weighs 2700kgs. Will give better report when back so people thinking of altering tyre size have more info.

Cheers Warren
