Even here in the UK the car hasn’t been delivered to owners for more than 2 weeks so there are very few out on the streets and even fewer in the hands of aftermarket specialists. I have been in contact with two UK companies regarding 18 or 19” wheels with more offroad orientated tyres but so far neither company has a car to modify but they are getting there! Suggest that you contact UK company Simmonites https://www.simmonites.com/ who are one of the companies I’m in contact with - they are well known Land Rover modifiers and specialists in old Defender upgrades but are waiting for delivery of their own 2020 Defender 110 D240 shortly. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

I fitted Toyo AT3s in 275/55/20 on Friday, and put about 350 miles on them this weekend on highway and trail. No rubbing at 'normal' or 'off road' height on the vehicle during our drive.

For nearly a month I have been running mine on Goodyear Wrangker Duratracs same size as the OEM tyres that the car was delivered with. The only off road drive so far on them has been on gravel trails around Europe’s biggest onshore wind farm and conditions were more Australian outback than rainy muddy west coast of Scotland! On road they make a little more noise than the Pirelli All Seasons and any change in fuel consumption a hasn’t been noticeable.

2600 miles on the tires, no issues with any fitment. Continue to be very pleased with their ride on the highway and off-road as well. I have decreased pressure 2psi on front & rear from factory recommendation and find the ride better on the highway. I do air them down about another 10-15psi when on trail depending on conditions. |

Thanks for sharing !, I would like to mount these on an 18" rim, 265/70/18 ( 32,6"), unfortunately these are not available in Europe.

Click image to enlarge I too am running LR marked approved Goodyear Duratrac Wranglers in 255/60r20 size on factory 20” wheels. They have a bit of a hum on the road (not really annoying though) and they take about 2mpg off the economy of the car. Motorway performance is good. Aquaplaning and wet weather performance is good too. ---- 2020 Land Rover Defender 110 P300 SE 7 seat (current) 1984 Land Rover Series III 88” Hard Top (current) Previously: 2001 Land Rover Defender 110 TD5 Station Wagon (gone) 2001 Range Rover HSE 4.0 V8 P38 (gone) 2014 Land Rover Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 (gone) 2009 Land Rover Discovery 3 2.7 TDV6 (gone) 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport SD4 240 HSE (gone) |

I like the looks of that - I would much prefer those or the Cooper AT3 XLT (which I have on my D5) to any of the tires supplied by the manufacturer. |
