The black car had stock size used old and hard Dunlops. Interestingly the Pirellis slide around more in the wet than the semi-slick/worn out Dunlops.

Stock to stock, the Land Cruiser would have to down shift twice going up the passes and struggle to hold onto 75mph, the diesels hold top gear and easily do 80mph, with acceleration a tickle away.
