Installation Tips
- Always torque wheels to 135 Nm (older models) after installation
- Re-check torque after 50–100 km
- Ensure hub rings are used if aftermarket wheels have larger centre bore
- Maintain correct tyre pressure (typically 36–40 PSI depending on load)
Why Correct Fitment Matters
Incorrect wheel or tyre specifications can lead to:
- Vibration at highway speeds
- Uneven tyre wear
- Poor handling and braking
- Safety risks under load
Correct centre bore and torque settings are just as important as tyre size.

Ownership check for Ford Territory Tyre Size Guide, Wheel Specs, Centre Bore & Torque (2004–2016)
Ford Territory Tyre Size Guide, Wheel Specs, Centre Bore & Torque (2004–2016) should be matched to the way the vehicle is actually used around Adelaide, not just the tyre name or a generic online recommendation. Before fitting, Autosport Tyre World Magill checks the placard size, load rating, speed rating, wheel condition and current wear pattern so the final choice suits daily commuting, wet winter braking, hot summer roads and weekend touring.
That check is especially useful for 4WDs and utes because suspension changes, towing weight, canopy loads and mixed bitumen/gravel use can all change the best pressure, alignment and rotation plan. A practical fitment conversation helps avoid tyres that look right online but do not suit the vehicle, the load or the driver's expectations.
- Confirm the placard size and legal load rating before ordering.
- Inspect tread depth, sidewalls, tyre age and uneven shoulder wear.
- Book balancing or wheel alignment if vibration, steering pull or edge wear appears.
For local help, visit Autosport Tyre World Magill at 647 Magill Road, Magill SA 5072 or call 0452 641 023. The team can inspect the current tyres, quote suitable options and recommend wheel alignment, balancing, brake or suspension checks where needed.
