Tim,
You're perfectly fine fitting the 21"s as they're the same tyres as core offerings (275/45R21 110Y).

For the same logic as the 295s not working on a standard car, likewise I've seen people fitting the 275 section 22" tyre to SVRs but the lower tyre rating can't cope with the inputs from the SVR chassis, hence us not offering it.

Thanks Dave, I'm not a fan of aftermarket rims and non-standard tyres especially as I'm one of those strange folks who actually take my Land Rovers and Range Rovers off the beaten forest track and across the hills where there aren't even green lanes, so having the 21's will give me some more sidewall to protect the rims! I have been surprised just how far I can get on the 22" OEM tyres too but the electronics do have to work a bit harder. So far though we haven't needed a tow out of anywhere on the 22's 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

You could give a horse the ride of it's (possibly shortened) life behind an SVR!
