Our Story
THE PASSION
Here at TuffAnt, we love all things Land Rover, as well as hitting 4x4 tracks in these capable rigs and exploring the outdoors. But sadly, as most owners have found, a distinct lack of suitable 19" tyres left us wanting more. We wanted wheel and tyre combination to match the amazing technical ability of Land Rovers in all the tough off-road conditions we care to throw at it. From first-hand experience, we have felt the shortcomings of the tyre choice when the going gets tough and we ask the most from our tyres.
​
LIMITED CHOICE
​
Whilst we found that the tyre choices in 18” are vastly improved, we quickly realised that if you wanted to choose 18" wheel you were left with very few legal options, particularly in Australia.
The existing options were expensive and often hard to get.
​
THE SOLUTION
​
We knew there had to be a better way.
The solution was a properly engineered and legal 18" steel rim that would suit late model Discovery 4’s and LR4’s that would not break the bank or require any vehicle modifications. Of course the wheels also fit the D3 as well as some Range Rover Sport Models (see Fitment page).
​
...and so TuffAnt was born.

​
Fave 4x4 location?
Hands down it is the stunning paradise known as K'gari. There's just something magical about beach camping there and exploring the inland tracks. But what truly captivates me is the chance to witness the iconic Australian Dingoes and other wildlife roaming freely.

What's the best part of working at TuffAnt?
My role is very creative and diverse which I find super rewarding. However, the team is another one of the best parts. Everyone is supportive and shares a common passion for adventure.
​
Fave 4x4 location?
Around home, Mt Mee is so close and convenient! I also love the Condamine Gorge track. Byfields National Park would be my favourite destination though.

What's the best part of working at TuffAnt?
From working in the warehouse I've found it really interesting learning the behind the scenes of the business such as managing orders and stock, and I've really enjoyed learning the process behind the designs and installation of the major accessories like the Bullbars and Sliders.
​
Fave 4x4 location?
Definitely K'gari/Fraser Island - I love the solitude and natural beauty of the place, it's just so massively diverse and offers so much to explore.
It started with the Pilbara & it's been constant innovation since!
