  • Tyre sizes? ???

    Its time to change Tyres on the 120.Currently running the standard size 265/65/17 .Just wondering if it worth going to 265/70/17.The Prado is probably 70% on road. Tyres will be BFG all terrains.All thoughts considered. Thanks

    If you don't need the ground clearance don't bother with the bigger size as you'll just use more fuel.

        Pros:
        • More ground clearance <>20-25 mm

        Cons:
        • Overall roof height raised by same as tyre height increase. Clearance may be an issue.
        • Sluggish on take off from a stop.
        • More fuel usage. >2-3 Litres per hundred.
        • Speedo may be incorrect. EG mine running 265/70 is reading 100 when im really doing 104.
        • More tyre noise if aggressive tread pattern.

            Petrol. But I've heard it's similar numbers on a diesel too. Roughly 1.5-2.5.

              I wenr from 275/65 to 265/70 KO2s and fuel consumption went up sround 1L/100km in a 150 diesel. The KO2s are much heavier as well as being taller.

                  My fuel usage hardly changed at all. The extra ground clearance was worth the change.

                    Our fuel economy increased by about 2ltrs/100. Worrh it for the extra clearance though as purs isn't lifted. Maybe slightly slower off the mark but it's a V6 so eho cares.
                    2007 GXL V6 - ARB Bullbar with LED lights, snorkel, extractors, 2 1/4" dual exhaust, K&N filter, dimpled/slotted rotors, headrest dvd players, Ebay Satnav/reverse camera, GME 3100TX, Tigerz11 Side awning on custom brackets with Maxtrax mounts, 300W Invertor, ARB Underbody protection, Lightbar and STZ 265/70 tyres.
                    Wish list in order I'll get them: Sliders, 2" lift, E-locker, Winch bar with winch.
