GU Patrol OE Largest tyre size from factory

Post by **4runnernomore** » Wed May 06, 2009 10:46 pm

Hello all,

I have tried searching but have been unable to find the answer to this question.

What is the largest OE tyre size that was placed on a patrol in Australia or the OS market?

So far I have 265/75R16, 275/70R16 7.50x 16, 275/65/17 and 265/70r 16.

Is this all of them or was there a bigger tyre fitted from factory especially in the OS market?

Appreciate any help with this question and a refernce point would be great as well.

Cheers, Chris

There was a thread either here or patrol4x4 (tried searching but can't find it) where bogged posted a photo of a patrol owners manual and it had an odd size, something like 245/85/16 or similar.

Trying to search for it is near impossible but it is out there.

This is a government run web site does the following:

"RVCS allows vehicle manufacturers to electronically certify that the vehicles that they supply to the Australian market meet prescribed safety standards specified in the Australian Design Rules (ADRs). The system allows lodgement of test data using electronic forms software and is administered by the Vehicle Safety Standards Branch (VSS). "

This data tells you how nissan have brought the cars into Aus
enjoy

Is there a similar site to get that info for earlier cars eg, 65# hilux.

I tried doing it for toyota but the earliest it shows is 2005 model and a few camper vans

going by a tyre size calculator http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
the 245/85/16 tyre is 32.4 inches tall. going on the QLD rules a 33inch tyre on a GU is legal.

anyone have a GQ book?

You can pay a dealer alot of money to fit stuff. Doesnt mean its legal.
