No, but I have been offered them as a replacement for thr Wrangler 255/60/18.
Only question is that they are rated 110T and not the 112 of the Wrangler. Discovery 4 2.7 SE

Sounds interesting as I'm considering a set of 18 inch rims to replace my 19's with the intention of reducing the cost of my next and future sets of tyres.
I'm currently running the fantastic General AT's in 19 inch, but would like an AT tyre thats a bit cheaper.

Got the Baja ATZ on my defender - quiet on road and respectable off road. Sometimes need to spin them a bit to clear the mud. But on the road they are ever so civilised - well, for a defender anyway!

Why? As long as the load rating is greater than the minimum stated on the plaque (109), they should be legal?

Long story and there a number of post both here and on http://www.aulro.com/afvb/d3-d4-rrs/144090...plain.html
as the tyre plaque lists different load ratings for the different rim sizes. I have had tyre fitters state that they don't/will not fit a 110 rated tyre on an 18 inch rim.
I think Land Rover are to blame as the plaque should start the load rating as a minimum, not per type type to stopp the confusion.
Fortunately for me Cooper Tyres have confirmed that thier 265/60 R18 110 are a legal replacement for my D4. So the search for a good price continues. $400/tyre fitted is my best one so far, which I think is a little steep. Not sure what pricing is like in the UK these days. Discovery 4 2.7 SE
