Tyre Size Decision - Landcruiser 300

Hi Sam,

Personally, whilst I do not own a 300 Series, and am just going on what I did with my 200 Series GX, I went with 285/70R17’s. You would need to check the clearance under the front guards when turning and with the suspension under load. I started with Coopers, but after too many side wall splits, have changed to Toyo Open County AT’s.

Macca.

I would go with the slightly larger diameter tyres, just to give you a little more clearance under the diffs.

As Macca has said however, check that the front wheels still clear everything under load and sharp turns etc.

what do the zx's come with? you will need 5 tyres too if you go up in diameter

What are you planning to do with the vehicle?

Given you on Exploroz, its not a Tooorak Tractor. But a big difference if doing a lap of Aus on the blactop with a van vs hard offroad on remote tracks.

On my LC200, I went up a tyre size and while it gave more clearance, it had an impact on fuel economy.

If a lot of beach driving and/or reasonable amount of offroad, would go for the 32". Otherwise if mainly blacktop and good gravel, stick to stock... the higher profile will help ride softness too.

Not only will bigger tyres have a fuel impact, they weigh notably more too.... but if off-road significantly, I would want the better traction performance.

Cheers
