Well there are no 255/60/20 (32") tires here in the US but all the test mules had them and the tires showed a "LR" where the date stamp would be, so I have no doubt Goodyear developed this 19" wheel size (32") size tire for Land Rover to test with and that there will be several tires coming to market with this size very soon as the vehicle is launched, then a lot more after a few years and sizable replacement quantities are needed for the marketplace.
went to my local dealer who had this D240 HSE 110 in for showing.
3 guys from Land Rover were with it so spent a bit of time chatting to them.
It’s nice. Not as big inside as my D3, especially in the boot but it’s much bigger than the old defender.
Very comfy to sit in, good space in front and middle row. Good leg and head room.
Plenty of shoulder space and lots of practical areas for phones, wallets and stuff.
Plenty of room behind the bumper for a winch. 3500kg towing rating, 90cm wading depth.
The dash mounted screen is large, quick to respond and surprisingly easy to use.
No issues with finding stuff and it’s all got big “app” style bits to click on to take you into parts.
The heating controls etc are on a traditional location and work fine.
It’s compliant for all current and upcoming regulations inc EU 2022 ones which will affect all cars.
Should add.
In the time I was there. They sold 2 110s to people walking in to have a look.

Real one in the background makes it look like a Playskool toy. At least it fits in with its boutique sister-models now.

This tyre seems avail now.
The LR stamp is common with tyres now, manufactures making tyres for specific manufacturers, i have seen other tyres with JLR on them for Jags.
I would say your right with other tyres coming to market soon, hence the new size seen on the African 110.
Also the size seen on the goodwood rig as attached

That seat looks like its taking some serious abuse already. I hope the production vehicles can withstand wearing better than that....
As for the tires, that Goodyear size shows up now (thanks for the link!) but no one has any anywhere and the Michelin tire above does not yet show up in the US database of available tires sizes yet, so we are clearly in the early stages of these new sizes being brought into inventory. Looks like LR has created a unique demand for this size!

I wonder what the gold things are next to wheels? Shock heat?

Thanks for the photos! That driver's seat looks ROUGH though. Craziest part is that we have a D2 in the family with 110k on the odometer and the seat looks to be in better shape than that one, no joke.
