    35's on a TDI Defender

    I am About to sell my rangie and by a TDi defender. My RR has 35's on it and I need to decide whether to keep them or let them go with the car .
    I was wondering if anyone who is running or has run 35" tyres on a Tdi Defender could tell me how the performance changed on the road, in the bush and on the beach.
    I know that they will fit fine with bit of a lift as I had these tyres on My V8 county prevoius to my brain snap that led me to buy the RR.
    Performace wise on the county they were fantastic, just not sure with a diesel...

    Any info would be appreciated.....

    Scott

    Thanks andrew.

    Not many responses. all these guys must only do baby trails...... Ha

    33's might be the go but I think I will try the 35's seen as I have them and hopefully they will be fine IF NOT I can change later if need be.

    34 swampers..... sounds great.. thanks for the info,,,, would love to see some photo's when you have them..
    glad to see the tdi is still good off road with them on,, Im not too worried about on road.. I dont think any of us buy a defender for its onroad prowess.

    heres a couple of pics of my old county with the 35's on..





    wish I didnt sell it...
