| The speed remains the same. The circumference of a 22” and 20” inch wheel are the same if you use the correct tyres. |

Sorry - no it's the D250. Not sure I can afford both a new Defender 110 AND the running costs of a V8 Petrol!
BTW - LOVE the vehicle......even with the D250. |

Big dump of snow during our stay last week. New General Grabber AT tyres were fantastic. Up a 1in 4 slope outside the chalet was no problem.

| Thanks! I did find that I needed to take the Defender for a decent drive before the new TPMS sensors were picked up, so just be aware of this if they don't work straight out of the box! |

| I can also recommend carpartsstore.co.uk. They provided me with 4 TPMS sensors for my off-road wheels/tyres. Easy to contact and price is around £22 per unit. |

I would be expecting delivery with all season tyres.
This is standard among 4x4 across Europe.
Specific option can be discussed with the dealer. Or just buy it yourself.

I'm limited (as has previously been referred to) by the fact I have 19" wheels.
They are General Grabber AT3 Tyres. 255/65/19. |

Yes, I've done the same! But the fact that LR do not offer a factory fit 3PMSF tyre irks me. As you can pr ... |
