Listing all factory-fit tyre sizes
Bit of a geekery query here.

I’d like to put a list together of all the factory-fitted tyre sizes that LR have offered on Nineties/One-Tens/127s and Defenders over the years.

It’s a nice thing to have when considering different sizes to know that there’s a factory precedent.

If anyone wants to chip in with extra ones or correct anything above - feel free.

205R16 (offered on early 90s)
750R16 (standardised on later 90s and standard on 110s/127s/130s inc Camel vehicles)
235/85R16 (standard metric tyre on all models)
BFG MT or AT 265/75R16 (NAS defender 90s)

Bowler (post LR acquisition):
Cooper S/T Maxx 245/75R16 (challenge kit)

BFG AT 265/65R18 (Fitted to works V8 but offered as an upgrade by JLR performance to all MY94 onwards vehicles)

I’m sure there’s loads more - I’ll confess, my knowledge of all the various factory special editions: especially in the last few years of production is a little lacking (fire&ice/G4s/tomb raider/SVX/adventurer/heritage/etc).

There might be lots more makes of tyres but I think you've captured all of the stock sizes. Darren

My 2001 td5 90 had 265/75r16's BFG AT's so i wouldnt say theyre just nas 90 size.
May have been a dealer option at the time

I think 265 75 bfg ats were fitted as standard with the freestyle Question alloy wheels so that would be late tdi and early td5 before the switch to boosts and 235 85s grabber trs.

Michelin latitude cross were also standard I think at some point or an option at least on steel wheels?

That explains it. Mine came with freestyle alloys on Thumbs Up

I believe the nas had freestyles only so I assume that’s why they were the same size and tyre

Our 2002 TD5 came with latitudes on steels when it was new, as did our chums 2013 Hi Cap.

Late 1980s basic 90s (think ours was 1987 or 88 ) came with 6.00x16 Avon Traction Mileage crossplies, on instead of the 205R16 Michelins that the County had. Truly awful tyres!

Factory option that was popular here before oversize MT tyres came along was the 7.50R16 Michelin XS sand tyre, which was considerably bigger than the standard 7.50 and worked fairly well on soft peat. ---

I think the TD5 is more likely to have come with Michelin XPC which was the predecessor.
The XZL was also sometimes an option.
