Hilux standard tyre sizes?

Post by Jaco Versfeld »

What is the standard tyre size for the SFA Hilux. 87 - 94 (4Y engine)?

Does the imperial parameters work the same as the ISO standard, i.e. 265/70/R15 -> 265 the width of the tyre, 70 - the wall height, (70 the percent of the width of the tyre), R15 - 15 Inch Rim?

Kind Regards,
Jaco

Can be a 245x75R15 or a 215R15 IIRC (Marie Biscuit)

No imperial is in the case of a tyre actually a better descriptive method of displaying tyre sizes (no % of width cheetah-sh..) A 31x1.05x15 means the diameter of the rim is 15inches the diameter of the tyre is 31 inches and the tyre is 10.5 inches wide. To determine the sidewall is easy it is (31-15) /2 = 8 inches.

Die ou harde tyres van die Hilux was die split rims gewees wat 'n 7x16" of 8x16" bande was. As jy dit vervang het met radials, dan was dit met 'n 31x10.5x15 band gewees wat, alhoewel net 'n 15" band is sy sidewalls hoer en maak sy omtrek dit dieselfde omtrek as die vir 'n 16" band.

HI All,

I need to replae my Hilux Tyres and not sure the size. I can get 245/75/15 Goodyear Wranglers AT/SA for a good price but think it's to narrow.

If the standard is 31 x 10.5 it converts to 280/75/15 if my convertion table s correct.

Can i fit the 245 or is that not an option?

Thanks, Will get them. Can get them for around R900 each.

I know in the "WEG" they said the new Hilux (my model is 2005) over turn (rol) and it might have to do with the tyre size. Don’t know how true that is but rather on the safe side than sorry.

Ek het van 245-15 na 31/10.5 - 15 toe oorgegaan 'n paar jaar terug op my 2.7 2000 model wat standaard is. Ek moes 'n bietjie aan die stuurstoppe stel en daar is 'n marginale intervlak tussen die regter kantste band en die windskerm wasser waterbottel. Ek het ook nie meer treeplanke nie en enkelkajuit moddervlappe voor op wat in 'n sekere kondisie so effens raak. Het nou ongeveer 60k so gedoen en geen skade is nog op die plastiek dele nie.

Theunis, waar sit die stuurstoppe, en met hoeveel het jy dit gestel? Raak die regter wiel enigsins aan die waterbottel, of het die stuurstop stelling gehelp?

Die meganiese stoppe sit aan die voor en agterkant van die askop wat kan draai. Jy sal sien daar is sulke halfronde glystroke op die onderste wensbeen waarteen die stoppe druk as jy skerp draai. Wat ek gedoen het is om die stoppe te stel sodat daar nog so 5mm oor is voordat die band iets raak. As dit nog raak moet jy dit verder wegstel aangesien daar redelikke beweging en kragte is tydens dinamiese beweging van die wiel. Onthou net om die sluitmoere weer vas te maak as jy klaar is.
Die band vang nog teen die waterbottel maar daar is nog nie skade nie. Dit is egter ook net wanneer daar skerp na links gedraai word.

Naandsê Hilux-manne,

Ek het 'n 2003 Toyota Hilux Raider D/C. Op die oomblik het ek 245/75R15 Dunlop A/T-bande op.

Tussen die 31x10.5R15 en 30x9.50R15 BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2-bande, watter een sal julle aanbeveel en hoekom?

Dankie by voorbaat.

Groete

Hi Harold, I have a 90 SFA DC, I fitted 215 75 r15, but they look so small! haha. I've heard the 90's came with 225's.

Has anyone looked in an owners manual to see what is spec'd by Toyota?

Thanks a mil!!
