Tyres and Wheels VIDEO PLAYLIST:    • 4x4 Tyres and Wheels  

The EXTRA advice:

70 series Landcruiser:
16-17' rims with 33-35 inch (not much difference in fuel usage with this vehicle between 33-35 and the gearing in high and low works well)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Y62 Patrol Dash Offroads advice:
For aftermarket rims we tend to go for anything between pos 18 and pos 25 to get them sitting nicely (stock is +45).
For tyres on a 62 there is kinda three categories

The tourer - 285/65/18 - this is 20mm wider but keeps the same rolling diameter and this little loss in fuel economy but a better OffRoad tyre

Legal weekend warrior - 295/70/18 - very popular as its almost a 35 but not quite (34.3”). This is about as big as you can go and stay legal as it’s less than 50mm increase. They also fit without a lift.

“It’s a 35 or nothing” - these are the serious 4WDer type. Often matched with diff gears (3.67:1) and give best traction while not sapping too much power form the engine. Many will still tow big vans with this tyre size. Some (like me) will start to look at 20” rims as they suit the size of the car and look great matched to 35’s. You can of course go up to 37’s, but let’s face it that is just for a special few and ruins the cars reliability.

Defender 110-130 Grizzly and Bears advice:
In choosing 265/75R16s MT we've got an aggressive tyre that has proven itself on snow, mud, sand, gravel and bitumen all over the world that is also the same diameter as the 235/85 with 30mm extra width.
I like to have the 265s for a slightly wider stance.
We learned the hard way that bigger is not always better especially when carrying heavy loads.
On our initial build we ran 285/75s which led to us eventually snapping a swivel ball housing in the mountains of Kyrgyz The additional stress that big tyres put on your vehicle's bearings, hubs, CVs etc is significant and will cause damage and premature wear.

Hilux N70:
Touring 31-32's on 15-16inch +10-offset wheels (requires splash guards to be slightly altered)
