You could play here and see what is similar

245 seems pretty narrow on a 200 as the 100's have 275 x 70 x 16 on them

275 x70 x 17 is 18mm bigger and will make a difference to your speedo that

at 96.6kph you will actually be doing 98.9kph

Same applies so unless someone knows of an LT tyre in that size I would think you may have to go to the 275 or 285 x 70 A/T

The best repleacement size is 275/70 17. It is the same diameter and almost the same width as the original tyres.

The BFG All terrain in that size is not suitable, or wasn't last time I looked, as it's load rating is too low. I went with Mickey Thomsons which have been ok.

at 96.6kph you will actually be doing 98.5kph

it is 10 mm narrower

Go to the link I provided and put the two sizes in and it will show you all the differences

Cheers

Thanks Snoopyone, my bad. I meant 265/70 17.

Also the Mickey Thompson AT is exactly the same overall width as the OE 285. The tread is a little narrower though.

Make sure what ever you get is no bigger then 15mm rolling diameter, it will be ilegal. Im am in the process of tyring to fit muddies to my prado 120 series. Standard size is 265/65/17, there is no 65 profile muddie available by anyone, if I go to a BF muddie the size is 265/70/17, it puts my rolling diameter out by 28 mm, 13 more then allowed by RTA, which as the bloke from the rta put to me, if I hit some one and kill them I could be in the poop big time, no green slip coverage, and also NRMA can void my insurance as well if I need to claim. Just rang around some engineers and the average price to get a certificate to go the bigger size is $500 just to run a slightly bigger profile which Im not paying so looks like I will have to stick to A/T's which BF do in the a 65 profile size. Spoke to the RTA in regards to who would be in trouble if these places are fitting over size tyres to 4wd's (remeber Im only talking a prado) and he said the owner of the vehicle. Cant believe that majority of us would just ask for mud tyres to be fitted to a standard size factory rim drive out thinking nothing of it and could be in some serious trouble if some thing went wrong.

The potential consequences of the larger tyre size needs to be put into perspective. In reality the circumstances you would be left without insurance, etc, is if it can be shown that the larger tyre size contributed to the accident.

It will still be illegal, such that if the police or transport dept pull you over your vehicle will not be roadworthy, but this is different to having your insurance mull and void.

BTW I am not advocating to go one way or the other, just putting some perspecting into the argument.

I know where your coming from and seems extremely crazy to me that I need an engineers certificate to prove that a slightly bigger profile would be fine, BUT Im not running any chances when it comes to insurance or the fact if i hit and killed some one that i could be sent to an early grave. Wether it can be proven or not if the fact bigger tyres contributed to the accident it was put to me plain and simple today by the RTA and NRMA if they are over size (over legal limit) then my vehicle shouldnt have been on the road in the first place without been engineered. I am not paying $500 for them to fill out a bit of paper and do a brake test and hand brake test to tell me it will be ok which is what I was told today by another engineer. There must be thousands of prados alone running around with 70 profile thinking they are legal. Probably years ago i wouldnt have worried but these days you know what its like everybody wanting to sue everybody for what ever they can....Regards Steve
