18 Inch Tyres Off road durability

[tonyci]

Hi I am running on 20 inch wheels for my day to day driving on the TD 240.I also have a set of 18 inch rims, for high country and outback touring.
Those of you with 18 inch wheels what tyres are running on and how have they performed ?. I would prefer to stick to 32 inch.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Cheers
Tony

As per my sig... Maxxis RAZR MT 275/65R18. They are heaps better than the KO2s I previously had, everywhere that isn't bitumen.

oh good , another tyre tread.....

I really like the Wild Peaks.....

[scarry]

BFG for over 20yrs,no issues,long lasting,and not one puncture.

If i couldnt get them,Nitto would be my next choice,but not sure if they come in the size to suit the Defender.

Just ordered the Tuff Ant ADR certified brake package conversion for our Defender, will be fitting the Falkens in 275/65 R18
once we fit the alloys post rear caliper swap

[ramblingboy42]

you won't regret it....

Same with me ordering the Tuff Ant, with certification. Have you got an installation date? I'm told they are waiting on calipers to arrive.

Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 32 inch on 18 inch rims. Fantastic in the wet and dry. Excellent on gravel roads at speed. Low noise. 122 load rated. Cheers https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211111/152d619bb4184bdc08a41c6e72fe3a30.jpg

Never had an issue with sliding or brake lock up in the wet, highly recommended!

Thanks ozscott.
do not know much about Nitto, will investigate further.Could be a contender depending on availability.

CheersExcellent tyre, i opted for Yokohama g015 for our patrol due to availability at the time, but it was a tie between them, nitto, and falken.
I also found after a lot of research that 275/70/18 was the most common size

CheersNo worries mate. They were a more niche tyre company. They were taken over my Toyo. I think more recently they might do a couple of passenger tyres but really they are a 4wd tyre company and most of their range is quite agressive. They have an excellent reputation amongst hard core offroaders in the US and are quickly gaining a strong following here.

This is a good review Nitto Ridge Grappler Long Term Review - YouTube (https://youtu.be/hTO0aLdmhok)

ordered the Calipers a few weeks back, I was told by Andrew at Tuffant I had snaffled one of the
last set in current stock

[Tombie]

1st PLace: Renegade RT+
2nd Place: Wildpeak AT3W

The Renegades were purchased to try, now on both the Defender and the D4... Fantastic... Had them out in the 94mm of rain we got and no sign of aquaplaning and very positive on all surfaces...
Bite through mud very well and sand isnt a problem either.

[tonyci]

Thanks Tombie.
What size (Renegade RT+ )do you run on the Defender, can't seem to find a 32 inch size.
Cheers

265/75-16 on the Defender 90

265-65-18 on the D4 - I'd run this size on the new Defender [thumbsupbig]

Hey Tombie,

I had previously run 285/60/18 on the Compos I have and whilst they were very reassuring in super soft sand, they did scrub at certain times and would probably act like a handbrake if I had a suspension failure. So I'm thinking of dropping width and increasing ratio as the 285s are now toast.

I run Scorpion AT Plus on the 19s, which I quite like as they have a fairly good tread block, stick pretty well, are pretty robust and are relatively quiet. I was musing about getting those in the 18s, although they are an unknown quantity as I've never had them off-road .... but they do get good reviews. However, I really don't know how genuine the reviews are and much prefer input from folks like yourself that have done a fair bit of testing.

Do the Renegades rub at all, at that size (265/65/18)?

Cheers,

Kev.

Just had the Nittos in the rain deluge in Brisbane. Highway speed and tight cornering at lower speeds, going through sodden roads with 6 to 10 inches of water in parts. Brilliant tyre. Voids water in a big way. Handles like the proverbial to a sock. Brakes the same. Very happy with these Ridge Grapplers. Cheers

We had the Tuff Ant modification done and added the 18" black satin alloys married to Falken wildpeak AT3W
in 275/65 R18.. Brake caliper work was undertaken by a LR independent specialist in Sydneys Northern Beaches.

Fully ADR certified, uses LR replacement caliper, same stopping power as the originals, same pads and rotors,
just the right shape to enable the Tuff Ant 18's to clear ..

Pity that Land Rover did not think of this when they put the D300 and P400 together, save us all a lot of time and money
(if you have the original 19" package that is)

Will have to add the Renegade Rt+ to the list to try Tombie. Good they are have size for both the D4 and the Defender.

275/65 R18 is almost identical to the factory Defender Diameter, which we have tried in the Wildpeaks and found them excellent. Currently have the G015 Yokohamas on 285/65 on there without any major dramas. They brilliant in the wet and super quiet also. They are less agressive AT, probably closer to HT so keen to see how they perform off road. I suspect they will be excellent on sand.

We have found basically this with the tyres on the D4 and Defender

The same basic rolling diameter to OEM for the D4 is a 265/60 R18.
Next step for the D4 is 265/65 R18. Some slight rubbing in full lock and reverse and when in Access mode. Need to deflate the tyre to get it in the tyre well under the car

The same basic rolling diameter to OEM for the Defender is a 275/65 R18.
Next step for the Defender is either the 285/65 R18 or the 275/70 R18 (We have not tried this yet). Some slight rubbing in full lock only

The key thing to remember here is that a specified size and the actual size can be different. Its a bit like saying you take a Medium size shirt... they are all a little different so it can be worth checking out the manufacturers website also

Anyone know if 275/65/18 fit onto a standard steel Rim? D250 90?

If by "standard steel rim" you mean the LR-supplied 18" steel wheel... then yes an 18" tyre would be the right thing to put on that. The LR wheel is 8.0" width so make sure the tyre you choose is rated for that width also. I'm using 275/65R18 Maxxis RAZR on a TuffAnt alloy which is also 18x8.

Thanks for that, I wasn't sure if the Tuff ant was the same offset- I got the new tyres fitted today, pretty close on the front strut but otherwise no clearance issues.
Much better than the Wranglers that were fitted-went with Maxis AT Razr 275/65/18

[chuck]

Has anyone fitted the following tyre sizes to their Defender;

265 x 70 x 18 or

275 x 70 x 18

Back in the fold with a P300 110 Defender.

Would like to fit a good all terrain such as the Maxxis AT 811 RAZR or Nitto Ridge Grappler.

Would welcome any feedback.

My speedo is out by approximately 4km/h at 100 so these sizes should make speedo more accurate.
