I have ran both 235/85 and 265/75 on stock suspension no issues you will be tight but you can fit a 33" tire stock as well from what I have read and see on my 110.

I like having two sets of tires on the Lr3 one for daily and one for trail. You will just need a second set of wheels. Keep in mind I think your truck will need spacers to run factory alloy's.

I'm going a bit bigger ��

Oil change day yesterday, and regreased the u-joints for the third time. They are finally taking grease easily. Cleaned vent tubes, transfer case and axles...all were pluged solid. I'm so enjoying the simplicity of this rover, everything has been easy to reach (vent connections) and clearly...this is the right vehicle for me. Believe l'll be selling all of my Dll stuff shortly. As much as l love the looks of the Dll, and believe they are a very capable rover, this will probably be my last build. Not trying to "dish" them in any way.

Brian.

The owner at that specific shop that I’m going to said another American bloke flew over here from the states and bought 6 of his Defenders to ship back stateside.
Cha-Ching!!!!! £££$$$

I'd hold out for something nice...lol.

Surprised how close the pound is to the dollar. Looks like a great Defender. Imagine choosing one over there shooting fish in a barrel. Probably every degree of condition.

Also, after seeing that one...I'm blowing mine up tonight with some C4. No, joking...I'm more into driving mine off road eventually...so something "to nice" wouldn't work.
