I need some help concerning tyres...
Boring , I know. Sorry. I have read many tyre size posts an am still unsure what will work for me:
I live in QLD and I have a 2011 Prado Kakadu with no lift on factory mags and want to go to a more aggressive tyre preferably larger than the standard 265/60R18 tyres without going down to a 17”” wheel. I know I can legally go up 50mm in overall diameter (up to 825mm but an extra 4mm is ok by me).
I want to run the BFG K02’s. Vehicle will be used as a daily driver on the school run with occasional off road trips and touring holidays.
Factory size and overall diameter:
265/60R18 119S. 775mm
Sizes I am interested in:
LT 265/65R18 122/119R. 801mm
265/65R18 117-114R. 801mm
265/70R18 124R. 829mm
275/65R18 123/120R. 816mm
285/60R18 118/115S. 799mm
285/65R18 125R. 827mm
Which of these 18”” size tyres fit with no rubbing, scrubbing etc?
I have always used LT tyres on my 4wd’s in the past (Hilux, 80 Series, 100 Series and FJ Cruiser) but in an 18” rim size I can only see the LT 265/65R18 122/119R. The remainder are listed as an “Off-Road tyre” whatever that means. Would this be an issue?
Any and all help/advice much appreciated!
