Guys remember I live in socal, it never gets below freezing, and even if it does, it's only 1 or 2 days out of the year. We never, ever see snow and very minimal rain.

Are the wheel wells large enough to take 15 inch rims with 195/65 profile tires, or even 195/60 or the 185/15 inch sizes used by the Honda Fit? That would open up your options enormously. Otherwise get the Defender and if you're in a colder climate, consider running a separate set of winter tires, driving very conservatively in the event of any frozen precip, or waiting for roads to be cleared after snow or ice.
Holy crap 90k warranty tread life??? I think I know what I'm getting lol.
