If you’re the proud owner of a New Defender (2020 - 2023, D300, D350, or P400), and you’re looking to maximize your off-road capabilities, you may want to consider upgrading your brake system.
A key benefit of this upgrade is that this enables you to fit TuffAnt 18" wheels, which are specifically designed to tackle the toughest terrains while delivering ultimate performance.
Here’s a quick look at the models that need the upgrade to fit the TuffAnt 18" wheels:
New Defender D300
New Defender D350
New Defender P400
If your Defender falls under these categories, it’s essential to upgrade your brakes before fitting TuffAnt 18" wheels. The upgraded brakes will allow you to properly install the 18" wheels, ensuring both safety and optimal performance.
The Importance of Brake Upgrades for Your New Defender
The New Defender is built to conquer rugged terrains, but to truly unlock its off-road potential, you’ll need wheels that can handle both extreme conditions and heavy-duty use. That’s where the TuffAnt 18" wheels come into play. However, not all models of the New Defender come ready to fit these wheels right out of the factory. For the D300, D350, and P400 models, a brake upgrade is necessary to ensure that the wheels fit properly and perform at their best.
What TuffAnt 18" Wheels Can You Fit?
Once you've upgraded your brakes, you’ll be able to fit a range of TuffAnt 18" wheels built for durability and strength, ensuring you can confidently tackle any off-road adventure. Here’s a list of the TuffAnt 18" wheels you can fit with the brake upgrade:
TuffAnt 18" Kakadu
TuffAnt 18" Kimberley
TuffAnt 18" Pilbara X ET39
TuffAnt 18" Simpson ET44
TuffAnt 18" Simpson ET27
These wheels are designed to not only offer superior strength but also enhance the overall performance of your vehicle on rugged landscapes, offering improved traction, stability, and handling.
Why TuffAnt 18" Wheels Are Ideal for Off-Roading
Off-roading demands the best in wheel and tyre technology, and the TuffAnt 18" wheels deliver exactly that. Their robust construction ensures better performance on uneven and challenging terrains, providing a smoother ride and more control over your vehicle.
