Makes sense. Thank you.
It also came with 22 inch wheels which is probably a good thing when it comes to reduced body roll.
My previous SUV was a 1999 Lexus LX470 which drove like a boat.
The Defender is like a Porsche in comparison to the LX! I love it.

 

Just got 4 factory 18" steelies with KO3. The tires are currently at 47/50 psi (LR normal load).

The LR light load is 34/37.

What psi would you recommend if it's just driver with no passenger with 2 pairs of skis, 2 pairs of ski boots, 2 ski helmets, multiple ski gears (various jackets, bibs, pants, underlayment and etc) plus 3 weeks worth of regular change of clothes in winter along with a few gallons of water and non perishable food?

My goal is to achieve best possible winter/snow performance from the KO3.

Thanks!

 

Personally, I would keep the tire pressure at the normal level. The light load is too low in my opinion.

 

I tend to keep my tire pressures between the light and normal loads. Rarely do I have more than three people in my car, but I set the TPMS for light load, and fill it to 38/42 psi. Slightly lower for better ride comfort on the E load rated tires, but still able to load people/cargo. Never had any issues with handling at these pressures.

JLR doesn't recommend adjusting the tire pressures beyond the normal and light loads, with the exception of driving on sand.

 

I also set between normal and light - and have >45K miles on the OEM Goodyear Wranglers on 19 inch rims.
