Will be interesting to see the pros & cons of petrol v diesel when released

......and allegedly hybrid and electric as well..... time will tell.

New vid here

2021 Land Rover Defender spy shots and video

seem to be some slightly clearer shots of the spare tyre - can anybody make out the tyre size yet?

Not having CSI zoom technology available
Instead I used my squinting super powers

My guess of the spare size on that shorty is
255 / ?? 18

Seems feasible to run 18s on a burn around the ring?

Haha..not sure, i would have thought they would go 20s at the ring, but i suppose they would test all sizes.

Looks like like 20’s on just another rappa / mobsta SUV to me. ...ready for the red carpet, not the bush.

If they are smart they will do a delete option to 17inch....yeah...right. 18s will be min I suspect. Cheere

Maybe but i doubt it, 18s are a good size as discussed already above, medium profile, people are doing fine with 20s on other brands with decent sized rubber.
18s seem to be the new minimum for modern 5 star safety rated full size 4x4s, just have to make sure enough rubber.

The SWB mentioned above in link has decent sized rubber for a factory 4x4, as does this one snow testing.

Nurburgring in the vids, they are testing their big wheel, big brake, high power option and I'm sure other options.
