Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
The Defender uses 19" or larger wheels — what should I know?
Larger wheels mean lower-profile tyres with shorter sidewalls — that means firmer ride, more pothole sensitivity and shorter tyre life on UK roads. Premium tyres usually repay the extra cost on cars with 19"+ wheels.
Is the Land Rover Defender still on sale in the UK?
As of the 2020-present window, the Land Rover Defender is currently on sale in the UK. Tyre fitments listed here reflect UK-market specifications.
What tyre size does the 2020-present Land Rover Defender use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 2020-present Land Rover Defender include 255/70 R18, 255/65 R19, 275/55 R20, 275/45 R22. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
What do star/OEM markings mean on Land Rover Defender tyres?
Land Rover approves specific tyres for many of its models, marked with a star (BMW), MO (Mercedes), AO (Audi), J (Jaguar) or similar. OEM-marked tyres are tuned for that car's suspension and don't always come from the major brand-name fitter as a stock item — they may need to be ordered.
Are OEM tyres still fitted to new Land Rover Defender cars?
New UK Land Rover Defender cars leave the factory with original-equipment (OEM) tyres specified by Land Rover. When replacing, you can stay on the same OEM brand or move to an alternative provided the size, load index and speed rating match.
