Toyota LC300 Four Wheel Alignment After Toyo A/T III Tyre Fitting
This Toyota LandCruiser 300 came into Autosport Tyre World Magill for a set of Toyo Open Country A/T III tyres in 265/65R18. Once new all-terrain tyres are fitted to a 4WD like the LC300, four wheel alignment becomes an important part of the job.
The product fitted was: Toyo 265/65R18 114H Open Country A/T III.
Why Alignment Matters on a LandCruiser 300
The LC300 is a large 4WD with significant weight over the tyres. If the alignment is not correct, the vehicle can scrub tyres quickly, especially on the front axle. Uneven wear can show up as shoulder wear, feathering, vibration or a steering wheel that does not sit straight.
A four wheel alignment helps the vehicle track correctly and helps the Toyo Open Country A/T III tyres work as intended. For Adelaide drivers, that matters because the same vehicle might be used for school runs, towing, city driving, hills roads and long-distance touring.
Toyo A/T III and 265/65R18 Fitment
The Toyo Open Country A/T III is a popular all-terrain style tyre for drivers who want a more capable tread than a standard highway tyre. In 265/65R18, it is a practical size area for many Toyota LandCruiser 300 owners.
A good tyre fitment should consider:
- Tyre size and load rating
- Wheel condition and balance
- Suspension condition
- Steering response
- Towing or touring load
- Alignment before the vehicle leaves the workshop
That last point is often overlooked. New tyres can hide an alignment issue for a short time, but poor geometry will still show up in wear.
