running 32" carnivores.  Used regular gas and econo mode most of its life. 

i Have a 2019 defender xmr...coming up 16000k. its been robust!  

I have a 2019 defender xmr...coming up 16k kilometers...never greased the wheel bearings once yet!

I Put 32x10x14 carnivores on my 2019 defender xmr without any mods, used same rims. No Issues what so ever.

Added 2" of ground clearance. 

 So, The New Carnivore 32x10x14 tires are on the unit. Installed on Stock Rims. Aprox. 1,000 kms on them now. Highly recommend these. After the Horrible riding Cryptids these are now like driving a machine with Marshmallow wheels! So smooth, no vibrations. They Rock!  Plus 2" free extra inches of ground clearance!!

Hey Joe. yes, stock rims. Tires will be in end of April so will post a picture of them mounted, As long as no rubbing occurs I am Happy!  Carnivores are lighter than the stock cryptids so clutching will not be an issue!

Cant wait to get rid of the vibrating, rough riding cryptids!!

Hi Joe. Thanks for the reply.  It has stock 30" cryptid tires on it.  I did order the new 32" Carnivores so will let you know when I get them mounted and installed!

I Have the Stock Cryptid on my Defender XMR...close to 8,000 k on them, they are over 50% worn.  Way to rough of a ride, they shake the steering wheel and vibrate the cab horribly.  Going to a smoother riding tire real soon and cant wait!

By the way , a big thumbs up for the side mirrors, I have them and they get beat daily and still hold position ...highly recommend them...very durable.   Was thinking seriously of installing back up camera and Dash monitor.

Has anyone replaced the stock tires on a stock Defender XMR ? I am thinking of  purchasing 4 new 32 x10 x14 Maxxix Carnivore tires on the front and back of my XMR.  Does any one have experience with this or see any problems mounting these?  I want to utilize the stock rims. Any input would be appreciated ! Thanks, Don
