Tyres for R19 or R20 110 Defender?

Hi Lyndsey,
I posted here about Maxxis Bravo 19” LT for a trip to Vic High Country.
they performed very well.
however, a number of forum members have commented about noise.
I chose this tyre for its LT rating in 19”. The only LT available in 19”.
best jeff.

I wasn't aware that a LR dealer would do the work.

There is still the cost of new 18" wheels and tyres and the supply and fitting of new rear calipers regardless of who does the work.

Edit: I'd be surprised if LR could do it for $1200 plus tyres.

I have a set of 265 70 18 Maxxis Razr's on the Defender.

Found them to be comfortable & quiet.

Have done 24,000 km on them with little wear.

Good on the both wet & dry bitumen & good on gravel roads.

I will see what they are like on sand after Christmas.

Cheers

That is good to know thanks for the feedback. I had the 980 on my D4 which hummed a bit, quite noticeable.
They went great in the desert and high country.
