Toyota Land Cruiser 60 Series Tyre Size & Wheel Specs Guide | Autosport Tyreworld

The Toyota Land Cruiser 60 Series (1980–1990) marked a major step forward for Toyota, combining true off-road capability with improved comfort and practicality. It became a popular choice in Australia for touring, towing, and long-distance driving.

Compared to earlier Land Cruiser generations, the 60 Series introduced wider wheels and tyres, making it a strong base for modern 4WD upgrades.
