No Lift tire size guide (work in progress)
#571
I have the Nitto Ridge Grappler 275/55/20 E Load range which is 32.13 inches tall and 11.18 wide on factory 8.5" wheels. The tires fit without rubbing at sock ride height before I put on the 1.0" Proud Rhino Lift.

Are there any vehicle warranty issues to consider when fitting larger than stock tires on factory wheels? Not sure how picky JLR is in this regard. I would hate for them to deny, say, a transmission claim because the vehicle was "working harder to spin heavier tires". Leaning towards 275/55/R20's for my stock Defender (no lift). Sounds like they fit on the stock 20" wheels with no issues. Thanks all!

This post and thread has been very helpful. The OEM Wranglers just don’t cut it in Colorado winters and replacements in stock size are a joke.
Went with 275/55r20 as it’s only 0.1 inch different from stock. I’ve always been a Nokian fan and considered Hakkas but Nokian now has a winter rated AT - Nokian Outpost nAT. It’s only been a day, already notice a difference driving in the slush. Tires are quiet and give the vehicle a bit more aggressive look.

(A few years ago I started using winter tires and I was very surprised at how much better they are in winter (even if it is just cold outside - no snow). I now switch tires each season.

I run a 32.6" heavier KO2 tire 265/70 R18 on an aftermarket lighter rim. Again, highly improbable, such a small deviation from OEM could damage the drivetrain and next to impossible for it to be proven to have done so. The burden of proof is with LR here in USA.
A much bigger tire, like a 35" requiring a lot more mods to fit is going to be a different ball of warranty wax for sure but for the sizes in this thread (no lift) or even a little larger like a 33" with a 1.5" rod lift it's not going to be an issue.

Hey All,
I have a 2023 P300 with OEM 20" Wheels. I live in the Outer Banks of North Carolina so pretty much any off-road is in sand. This requires airing down. I'm looking at going with 275/55R20 Toyo Open Country AT3 on my stock wheels. I read the reviews and the chart from this page but I want to make sure there is no rubbing, or at least minimal when aired down before I buy a set.
Thank You
Mike

For the 19" rims, all I can see would be the Goodyear Adventure with Kevlar. Doesn't seem like a bad choice, but anything else expected?? Will the new KO3s be geared for the 19s? Anyone hazard a guess if there will eventually be more than just Goodyear for the 19" rim? Thanks!
I'm currently getting ready to swap out for either BFG KO3 or Falkan A/T4W at LT265/70R18 load range E, along with the Lucky8 Caliper kit as I can't bare to grind those luscious red brake calipers on my 110x LOL If anyone can confirm that tire size fits w/out rubbing at full turn at Access - Normal - Off Road ride heights I'd appreciate it. Research here and elsewhere thus far says I should be okay.
