Land Rover Defender Tire Review Highlights
Dry grip is equivalent for an All Terrain, handles a little better with a superior sidewall feel to others that I have used, Toyo, BFG, Goodyear Wrangler, Nitto.
Comfort is better than the Michelin Primacys that came on the car. Noise is very low. I'm in a Defender, and the wind noise surpasses tire noise.
Had snow last night, and they performed well. Little to no slippage and very little ABS engagement.
Tires have 200 miles on them will update later on.

The current range of Pirelli Scorpion ms tires do not appear to be fit for purpose! I have had several punctures over the past three years all of which have been a small piece of road gravel piercing the centre of the tires.
On each occasion the gravel has gone through the rubber, canvas and even the metal gauze.
Unfortunately after 30 using Pirelli I think I will be changing manufacturer.
All of my cars on this period have been new Land Rovers/Range Rovers with tires fitted as original equipment

These were OEM on my LR Defender 110 Petrol 300PS MY2021 here in Switzerland. I use the car for 900km auto routes, in town, on mountain fire tracks and in the snow up mountains. 47km in, and the fronts are being changed as we head into winter; the temperature is below 5 degrees C, and mountains have snow. These really are all season tires. Happy with them.

I have has these on a Defender 110 TDCI for twelve months now, driving a mixture of country roads, motorways, field edges (shooting & fishing), plus snow in the alps (skiing). I've also done about 800 miles of towing a two ton sailing boat.
All in all that's a 12,000 varied workout, and I've nothing but praise for these Discoverer AT3 LT tires. A compliant, quiet ride with decent a steering feel. I've been buying and using all terrain tires for some 20 years now and these are my favourites. .

25.000 km on my Defender. The tires works very good on highways. No noticeable noise even at high speed. I would say that the performance in mud is not very good. I have lost 2 tires due to the rock cuts in the sidewall. I was driving a forest road not very rokcky.

These tires are dual compound and once the initial softer rubber wears away the remaining compound is much harder resulting in poor wet weather grip. Have had the last 3 generations of BFG AT’s and these are the worst in wet conditions.

DEFENDER 90 , ko2 tires 265/75-16 , very sure footed and a good ride . previously on 235/85-16 grabbers and continental cross contact at , which i was happy with and had no complaints , but comparing the two the KO2 tires have less role making them feel more precise . And to me they look good and rugged on a DEF , i would buy again without question .
