Mitsubishi Triton Tyre Guide Adelaide
Quick answer
Many Mitsubishi Triton models in Australia use ute tyre sizes around 245/70R16, 265/65R17 or 265/60R18, depending on generation, grade and wheel package. The correct Triton tyre size is the one on the placard and current approved wheel setup, not a size copied from another ute.
For Adelaide use, Triton owners usually choose between quiet highway-terrain tyres, stronger all-terrain tyres and load-rated touring tyres.
Common Triton tyre size conversations
| Triton use | Common size examples | Tyre direction |
|---|---|---|
| Daily work ute | 245/70R16 or similar | Highway-terrain or light all-terrain |
| Dual-cab touring | 265/65R17 | All-terrain with suitable load rating |
| Higher-grade wheel package | 265/60R18 | Road-biased SUV tyre or touring all-terrain |
Highway-terrain or all-terrain?
Choose a highway-terrain tyre if the Triton spends most of its time commuting around Magill, Norwood, the CBD or South Road. Choose an all-terrain if it tows, carries tools, visits job sites, drives gravel or heads away on touring trips.
Popular all-terrain conversations often include Falken Wildpeak, Toyo Open Country, BFGoodrich, Hankook Dynapro, Yokohama Geolandar and Bridgestone Dueler options.
Load, towing and alignment checks
Tritons used for work or touring need tyre load rating checked carefully. Also inspect old tyre wear before fitting new tyres. Feathering, shoulder wear or pulling can point to alignment issues.

FAQ
What tyre size does a Mitsubishi Triton use?
Common examples include 245/70R16, 265/65R17 and 265/60R18, but exact size depends on model year, grade and placard.
Are all-terrain tyres worth it on a Triton?
Yes, if you tow, tour, carry loads or drive gravel. For mostly sealed-road use, a quality highway-terrain tyre may be quieter.
Can I fit bigger tyres to a Triton?
Sometimes, but clearance, legality, speedometer change, load rating and spare fitment need to be checked first.
Should I get an alignment with new Triton tyres?
Yes, especially if the ute has uneven wear, suspension changes, heavy accessories or regular towing use.
Final thoughts
The best Triton tyre starts with the placard, then the job the ute actually does. Match the size, load rating and tread pattern before chasing appearance.
