No Lift tire size guide (work in progress)

Neither of the AT Vredestein I'm seeing at Tire Rack have the sufficient load rating for Defender. Neither meet the required XL load rating. Maybe there is another type I'm not aware of.

Once you hit the 32-33 inch or larger diameters, XL load ratings are very, very rare. The ply construction of the Pinza ATs are the same as the OEM Perelli AT XL tires and the load index of 116 / 2756lbs of the Pinzas actually out performs the Scorpions which is only rated at 2601 lbs.

I don't find XL rating to be rare in the sizes that fit Defender. At least not in US market. Perhaps it's very different in other jurisdictions.

Also, not that 3pmsf is end all be all, but w/o it, I wouldn't take them in the snow.

BFG KO2 265/60/R20 on Stock Rims. Fit is tight in Access Mode Only, and even in Access Mode there is zero rubbing even at full turn lock. One side note, I used Tire Rack Mobile install service, they were unable to balance these tires on the Mobile Truck. I called Tire Rack and they sent me to a brick and mortar tire shop and with the balancer mounter to solid ground and they were able to balance tires no issue. (pics with Defender in Access Mode)

Can you please confirm that you have the full size mud flaps? Looks like you have them up front, would assume you also have them in the rear.
I have the same truck and have been leaning towards 275/60/20 KO2's w/ a 1" lift, but I really don't want to deal with rubbing or modifying/removing my full size flaps.
Appreciate your feedback!
