That's good to hear - I have a set on the way. What width wheels are they on? That was my only other concern - the wheels are 9" rather than 8.5".

Okay - I think they will be fine on 9" rims too.

At least you have some snow up there. None at all here yet.

If you guys still have your OEM size spare tire and cover I picked this up off eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224714392454
Pics taken from the listing.

Has anyone tried fitting Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires on their Defender? Any rubbing noted?

The math says that a 275/60R19 is 31.99" tall. I can't find a tire like that. A 285/60R19 would be about 32.46" tall. I can't find an off-road tire for that either. A 265/65R19 is 32.56" tall, and no luck with a tire. These would all in theory fit.

If you go to what would be a 33" tire, 255/70R19 would be 33.06" tall. But there is no such off-road tire I can find.

If you have the 19" wheel, you are severely limited to what sizes are available.

I have a ‘23 model year on order with 19” rims. My last amendment is Jan 12. If I want to do real off roading I’ll need some better tires. I don’t want to go to 20” rims because that will only be worse for off road. Any resolution here on tire options at 19”?

19" doesnt have a great selection. I'm pretty sure the best (maybe only) 19" AT tire is Goodyear Duratracs which to be fair are not bad tires. But according to here https://www.goodyear.com/en-US/tires...ac/sizes-specs they dont come in 265/65R19, but they are theoretically available at 255/65R19 which is 32.1" diameter.

In my unsolicited opinion, if you want the P400 but also want to really offroad I'd strongly be considering the lucky8 rear caliper swap, then 18" aftermarket wheels/tires.
