I would be expecting delivery with all season tyres.
This is standard among 4x4 across Europe.
Specific option can be discussed with the dealer. Or just buy it yourself.
I am on my 3rd set in 10k ... |

I'm limited (as has previously been referred to) by the fact I have 19" wheels.
They are General Grabber AT3 Tyres. 255/65/19. |

| 3PMSF doesn’t necessarily mean that the tyre performs well in snow and ice. It just means that it meets the minimum requirement of performing 10% better than the standard reference tyre manufactured ... |

I decided for extra set of wheels and tyres to swap for the winters, with AT 3PMFS tyres
Yes, I've done the same! But the fact that LR do not offer a factory fit 3PMSF tyre irks me. As you can pr ... |

| I don't understand the criticism, I don't know of any car that comes out of the factory with winter tires or chains in the trunk... are you saying that in France if you buy a new Renault, for example, ... |

| Perhaps LR fit different tyres in France, but none of the standard fit tyres available for a new LR Defender in UK will be legal in certain parts of France during the winter. If you are in any mounta ... |

| Landy240 is right regarding Austria - you only need M&S. My bad. But for France you do need 3PMSF or carry snowchains from 1st November. When driving to the Alps I always carry snowchains but they ... |

In fact the ONLY 3PMSF rated tyre for 19" rims that are not specific winter tyres appears to be the General Grabber AT.
There are Winter Tyres available that are 3PMSF in the 19" rim, but ... |

| The current issue I have is that none of the tyres currently available as LR tyres (Continental/Pirelli/Goodyear AT) have the 3PMSF rating. They’re all M&S but that’s no longer acceptable as ... |

Probably should have got 20 or 18 inch rims for more tyre choice, but have got 19 inch rims on my 110.
Notice that there are now General Grabber AT with 3 Peak and "all season" available ... |

| I agree! I bought a bargain set of 4 wheels and AT tyres knowingly without TPMS, and fitted aftermarket TPMS valves at £25 each. They work well. I didn’t have to do anything other than drive for ... |
