tyre placards - Do DX Patrol and ST Patrol placards read the same?

I didn't read anything anywhere! can someone tell me what to read so i can come up to speed and rejoin the pack please. so it is different?

Under "Weights and Dimensions" it states the DX clearance as 230mm and all else as 210mm.

Wheels and tyres is under "Mechanical"

Patrol specs

I thought it was interesting that a 3.0 ST Patrol cost pretty much the same as a 3.0 GXL Prado. Guess all that electronic stuff and constant 4x4 adds up in the Prado.

gotcha. yeah i have read that too..thought you were referring to something else.

Hello
Out of pure curiosity..from what source/reference have you acquired this information i.e. How do you know that "most people get the tyre placard from dx" and more importantly how do you know they're only acting ? :))

greg i think you took my response the wrong way.
after years in the tyre buisness and people wanting to put bigger tyres on and after explaining to them the legallitys of bigger tyres and people saying but that model has bigger tyres.well you can always go buy a tyre placard from that perticular vehicle that will widen your options.
when i say acting dumb.
oh i dunno whats suposed to be on here i went to the tyre place and they looked at the placard and told me i can put this tyre on.
and i didnt really mean most that was just what came to mind while typing.
does this help you at all :-))))

dear mr harewood.
i think i miss understood your reply.
i thought sarcasm/fun and sense of humour had been banned from here lolololol.
ps i did think you were kidding.
cheers

Sarcasm banned! - my life is no longer worth living...

does your tyre placard mention 750x16 out of curiosity?

Placard only says what was fitted when I picked it up ie 265/70 16

The handbook for the car lists tyre sizes and I am happy to go to court with the insurance or police over that issue.

Also I spoke to an engineer before I picked it up as I was anticipating the need for a certificate to fit the 285/75 16 tyres to it. he was not interested in wasting his time to do it. He said there was no reason I could not fit them in his view as long as the speedo error was acceptable and noted! When I told him the dealer was happy to fit thetyres before I picked it up he was even happier that there was no point.

I kept notes on these conversations also and if needs be he will be first wittness.

I even spoke to the RTA and argued that a blanket 15mm change was greater percentage on small car tyres and very little on a 4x4. They agreed but pushed the party line as they have to. I think I convinced him to take it up but its such a big bureaucracy it will never happen.
