Significant Bonnet bulge disguised by wrap, notice no washer jets

Front cooler vent section looks like fake add on paneling, real panel behind.

Dash HUD pod visible and vents, centre speaker, washers look to be on wipers comp truck style.

Huge mirror with indicator/warning light, camera.

Huge rear passenger door and all windows covered in wrap.

Very square rear with cool dual square stop lights.

Body sticks out from windows more than a khan defender guard widening pack.

Tube rock sliders seen on snow shots in 2 photos.

Something strange on brakes on brakes in snow shots.

No valves on tusk wheels.

18inch wheels

275/35/ZR18 95W BFG tyres

Here's some more from the high res shots.

Rocksliders

Metal front bash and HD recovery hook.

Clean windscreen in mud, with no bonnet nozzle sprayers. (In tusk shot looks like windscreen washers are on wipers).

High res testing pic.

There's no way that's an 18" wheel. 275/35/R18 works out to just over 25" tire height.
Looks more like a 22" wheel. 275/35/R22 would make more sense at 30" overall height.

Yeah spot on, we worked that out on another forum.

Moab was on 20's and a 32inch tyre.

If the tusk is a 20 wheel or 22 the tyre size is wrong.

Imo its no accident they put 18 inch in there, also bfg would have to be involved to use their name, and that tread doesn't exisit.

My guess is it could be a future tyre from BFG but the size has been played with, and they are trolling again.

Main thing for me is they used 18 in the size which is promising.

Then again moab pilots did very well by reports from non LR guys in vids on 20' with 32s on highway pressures.

Chuck on 34s and you have decent sidewall and still good on road performance.

We have seen multiple brake, tyre, wheel sizes so i imagine multiple options will be avail.

Probably looking at 19" for an SE as standard, 20" on the HSE to follow the rest of Land Rover and take advantage of supply chain efficiencies. Hopefully they make an "offroad package" that puts 18's with higher profile tires on them.

I will say, however, that the 275/55-20 AT's (31.9" outside diameter) I run on my D5 are plenty good even in rock gardens, but now that it's verified 18" Compomotives work I will probably add a set of those after these are done.

Blackangie do you know if the two door is going to be offers in a soft top?
Million dollar question for the launch, I would say down the track it would be a certainty based on JLR comments.
