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
