Toyota FJ Cruiser Tyre Size and Tyre Recommendation Guide Australia
Quick answer
265/70R17 is the key Australian historical tyre-size reference for the Toyota FJ Cruiser. It is not a substitute for checking the individual vehicle: confirm the build date, tyre placard, full load index and speed rating, current wheel markings and spare before ordering. Toyota Australia has discontinued the FJ Cruiser and its current public page does not provide a complete year-by-year tyre table.
Australian OEM tyre-size reference
| Vehicle scope | Tyre-size starting reference | Evidence and boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Australian-delivered Toyota FJ Cruiser | 265/70R17 | Historical Australian-market reference. Confirm the complete rating on the vehicle placard; BFGoodrich Australia's vehicle directory provides a 265/70R17 115S cross-check for a listed FJ Cruiser application. |
Sources: Toyota Australia FJ Cruiser model-status page and BFGoodrich Australia FJ Cruiser vehicle-size cross-check.
The tyre-maker directory supports the size/rating reference for its listed application; it does not prove that every Australian FJ Cruiser build uses the same complete specification. Toyota's placard remains the controlling source for the individual vehicle.
Modified-size status
| Audit result | Meaning |
|---|---|
| No evidence-complete Autosport FJ Cruiser modified fitment found | No 275/70R17, 285/70R17, 295/70R17 or other larger size is presented here as a verified upgrade or Toyota OEM specification. |
A modified package needs documented wheel width, offset, wheel load rating, brake and body clearance, suspension condition and height, rolling diameter, speedometer effect, spare compatibility, alignment, insurer acceptance and South Australian legality checks.
Specific 265/70R17 tyre recommendations
| Use | Pattern and complete catalogue size | Selection boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Balanced road and A/T touring | Continental CrossContact ATR 265/70R17 115T | Confirm product age/status and vehicle placard before purchase. |
| Mixed-road A/T | Toyo Open Country A/T III 265/70R17 115T | Passenger-construction candidate for placard-compatible vehicles. |
| All-terrain touring | Falken Wildpeak A/T4W 265/70R17 115T | Check the complete rating and intended load. |
| Higher-load LT A/T | Yokohama GEOLANDAR A/T4 G018 LT265/70R17 121/118S | LT construction; assess ride, pressure and payload requirements. |
| Higher-load LT A/T | Maxxis RAZR AT811 LT265/70R17 121/118S | LT construction; use only after placard and operating-load checks. |
These are size-matched catalogue candidates, not stock or price claims. LT construction is not automatically required or better for every owner; tyre pressure, ride, heat, payload and off-road use must be assessed.
FJ Cruiser replacement checks
- Keep all four tyres compatible in size, construction, circumference and tread depth for the 4WD system.
- Check the spare, including its age, pressure and rolling circumference.
- Allow for bull bars, roof loads, drawers, long-range tanks, passengers, cargo and towing loads.
- Inspect alignment, suspension and uneven wear before fitting a new set.
- Do not mix this discontinued FJ Cruiser with overseas variants or the separate newer LandCruiser FJ nameplate.

Frequently asked questions
What tyre size does an Australian Toyota FJ Cruiser use?
265/70R17 is the main Australian historical reference, but the full load and speed rating must be checked on the individual vehicle's placard.
Is 285/70R17 a factory FJ Cruiser size?
It is not presented here as an Australian Toyota OEM size. A larger tyre is a vehicle-specific modification requiring wheel, clearance, rolling-diameter and legal checks.
Should every FJ Cruiser use an LT tyre?
No. LT construction may suit higher-load or tougher touring use, but it can change ride and pressure requirements. Match the placard, actual loads and intended use.
