You should try the 205/80/16 (about the same as the 215-85-16) that the RRC's came with. It was like driving on motorcycle tires. Off Road ok, BUT sketchy as hell on pavement.

Something like this >>

I have ran the treadwrights in the past on my Defender and would happily run them again.

Default 245/70/16 khumo mt51 tires are awesome ⚙️

I get 15-17 mpg so I stayed with 245/70/16 khumo mt51 tires and they are real nice for 475$ delivered off eBay
No real hum
No notice in mpg changes yet other then my foot on hwy cause they ride smooth 😎
No more steering shake at 65ish threw 72ish mph use to come and go, did what it wanted , haven't felt no shake .
