Its all made more difficult with LR using captive studs in the hub, so you have to jump to a 30mm spacer; often a 10mm/ 15mm spacer is all that's required to get a larger tyre to fit (depending on the catch point).

Think it's time I move to the ko2.
Wet grass was not the best mix in a wet field track.

Oh dear,
Is your current rubber the plain standard LR road tyres?

Standard road tyres.
Has scratched the sides of the alloys also, so will hopefully polish out.
The ko2 will hopefully give the rim some protection when in rut.

Anyone know the offset and width of LR’s 20” wheels (presumably they’re all the same or does it vary by style?) Cheers, David

Thinking about getting KO2s - but question is the full size spare on the tailgate. The KO2s are much heavier than the OE options. Anyone having issues mounting a 5th KO2 to the tailgate?

I hang my bike off the spare, with no problems.

Keep in mind KO2’s are mountain rated with the 3 peaks which just means they pass some tests in packed snow, but are not the same as full winter tires, especially on ice. Nokian Will apparently come out with their unbeatable Hakk’s next Fall in Defender sizes, but even the Pirelli or Conti winters should be better than KO2’s on icy roads due to softer compounds. Depends what you really need.

If you’re worried about scratching your alloys, don’t take it off road. No tyre size will protect them from stones etc. in ruts.
