Thread: What Tyres A/T for Defender 90

I think go for the Continental Cross Contacts mate.

Standard fitment for a new Defender. Quiet on road, 9/10 off road.

I second the motion. The Conti Cross Contacts ATs were fitted to my 2013 DC 110 when I bought it new. Love them on the hwy, around the city & burbs, and they do surprisingly well offroad here in Malaysian jungles (mud, sand, rounded river rocks & boulders).

Sorry can't help on pricing in Oz.

I just replaced my original 235/85/16R General ATs with Yokohama Geolandar ATs for $235 each. Great on an off road (in the dry) so far!

Linky here mate... circa $ 700 per set of 4!

Bargain if that is true!

Nice and quiet on road... so much more than the Goodyear Wrangler MT's

On a 90 I would go little wider to 265/75/16 in BFGoodridge A/T. They have the exact same rolling diameter as the 235/85/16 standards and they not only enhance the look of your car, but they actually add quite a bit in handling.

A little bit more expensive as they are pretty much top of the range, but the last set of tyres you'll need to buy for at least 80,000km.

Not sure if that will fit on defender standard rims?

They fit OEM alloys perfectly and they have in the past been the standard tyre fitted to 90's.

My first 90 in 1996 was delivered with the 265/75/16 as standard and my current 2010 90 has them fitted as well (not standard obviously). I've also got a set of 7" ZU alloys with BFG KM2 Mud Terrains for occasional use.
