ID this tire size

Any idea what size these tires may be? I am pretty sure these are 18" saw tooth but not sure of the size.
I am buttoning up my 90 and about to choose tires. Will be driven on dirt roads on my farm and on the street.

Thanks

Definitely 18" wheels

Here are 265/65R18 on my 18" Shogun alloys which are just under 32". Not sure but looks like the ones on the 90 could be bigger? They seem to fill the arches more than a 265/75R16 would, which is about the same diameter.

Personally I would never put 18s on a Defender as the ride must be awful. It destroyed the ride in a Discovery 2 and the Shogun suffers the same on rough roads.

The tyres look like they fill the wheel arch quite well, although may have a lowering kit as well. Maybe a 33 tyre? Not sure how common those are on 18”. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Thanks, I think you got the size right!

BTW My ex had breast implants, I'm sure they were uncomfortable but they sure where nice to look at Rolling with laughter
