• Will 2021 Land Rover Defender Fit with Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack
• The Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack # TH963PRO hasn't been test fit on a 2021 Land Rover Defender but it is supposed to fit tires up to 12.5" wide x 33" diameter and your 275/45R22 tires are 10.8" wide x 31.7" diameter so you'll be good to go!
