Toyota hilux SR5 Wheels

I have done some research on this issue also and found that aside from Bridgestone 691's there is very little available. Shame if you want something a bit more robust and aggressive in tread pattern.

For what it is worth I believe 16" is probably the way to go (say Prado rims) and the choices are more extensive. A 265/70/16" will fit under the SR-5 guards however it may need an Engineers Cert to comply with the licencing authorities requirements. The Insurers will always check compliance with the load rating so I value this above everything else. Some have fitted 265/75 series tyres however these are too big for a later model SR5, unless you raise heights, and interfer with the front guard mouldings.

Good luck in finding a solution. If you come across anything interesting please let me know. Thanks

Thanks for the info , contacted local tyre store and was told the same , noticed in your vehicle discription that you have them fitted how do you find them as far as grip goes , also were have you mounted your CB.

had the same problem with my sr5. Coopers make a 30*9.50r15lt AT checked with my insurance(AAMI) and the diference between the coopers and the original crap (b-stone d-duelers) was about 5mm, well within the legal limit. Double checked with the RTA and all was fine. Tyres fit well , a little louder perhaps but are wearing exttremely well.

Thanks for all the great info , sounds like I will have to give my insurance agent a call and find out what they will allow.

The tyre placard on my mid '03 Hilux states a wheel load rating AND an axle load rating. This was due to Toyota coming to the realisation that only crappy Bridgestone HT types and Goodyear AT tyres had the load rating up to scratch.

Toyota changed the tyre placard to list an Axle rating which the Cooper AT's & ST's more than easily cover. I run 30*9.5*R15 Cooper St's and love them. When they get worn out ill suss out the 31*10.5's with the Insurance company and give them a go.

If you are in Brisbane go down to Fouby's at Moorooka. They had a wealth of knowledge on the subject and explained the wording on the new tyre placards. Plus they gave me a good $cash$ price for tyres :)

Cheers,
