    18 Inch Tyres Off road durability

    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

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

    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

    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

    Love my grapplers on the amarok, getting down to the end of their life but I've done about 70k on them. Never had an issue with sliding or brake lock up in the wet, highly recommended!
