Nice! I wouldn't have sold my LR4 winter wheels if I had known they would fit the Defender. I knew the bolt pattern and hub size were the same but there was a significant offset difference between LR4 and Defender wheels,

 

@RenoDefender Great! So final install was the 275/60/20 Wildpeaks AT3 correct? What load rating? Can you give some feedback and ride differences in the next few days? Thank you!

 

yes, I did go with the larger size. Lighter load rating, I don’t recall what the code was.

so far, it quieter than the GY Wranglers.

running 38psi and light load rating. Very happy with the ride quality and noise level so far.

That right turn at normal height is awfully tight!

 

You can say that again!

 

I bit the bullet and went with the Falken Wildpeak R/T in 275/55/20. They sure look the part but I'm not convinced I like the ride yet.

 

That's a great looking truck!

 

Considering these tires but for the 18in wheel.

What tires did you switch from and what about the ride aren't you liking? Too stiff? Too much noise?

 

I switched from the 20 inch off-road tires that the vehicle came with. Goodyear adventures AT. I’m not thrilled about the noise and ride between 40 and 50 miles an hour. I’m going to mess with the tire pressures and see how they feel. They do seem to hold the road in the wet really well. I’ve done some Mudd work and Hill work already and they’re excellent. I just need to see if I can find a sweet spot in tire pressures so they ride decently just running around town - highway seems fine over 50 or 60 miles an hour with the roof rack already my vehicle is not silent.

 

Thanks for the reply, appreciated.
