im always worried about dropping a rim size becuase i thought i would comprimise the ride on the road too much but lets face it the defender isnt known for its soft ride!

ive found that the General Grabber 265's not only look better than the standard silly slim general grabbers you get on a defender, but they also give a better ride on road than the BF Goodrich ATs

I suppose off roadings a bit more serious in California becuase everythings so much bigger there!
