Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series Tyre Size Guide Australia
Quick answer
The Australian LandCruiser 70 Series cannot be represented by one universal tyre size. Toyota Australia's December 2025 brochure confirms 16-inch steel or alloy wheels across current WorkMate, GX and GXL body/grade combinations. 225/95R16 and 265/70R16 are useful Australian replacement-size starting references, but the tyre placard on the individual Single Cab, Double Cab, Troop Carrier or Wagon is the final authority. Match the complete size, load index, speed rating and construction before ordering.
Current Australian body and wheel guide
| Body or grade | Toyota-confirmed wheel information | Tyre-size action |
|---|---|---|
| WorkMate configurations | 16-inch steel wheel | Read the placard; do not infer the full tyre specification from wheel diameter |
| GX Single Cab | 16-inch alloy wheel | Confirm body, build date and placard |
| GXL Single Cab | 16-inch alloy wheel | Confirm body, build date and placard |
| GXL Double Cab | 16-inch alloy wheel | Confirm body, build date and placard |
| GXL Wagon | 16-inch alloy wheel | Confirm body, build date and placard |
| Troop Carrier | 16-inch package; specification varies by grade | Confirm seating/body conversion, build date and placard |
Official sources: Toyota Australia LandCruiser 70 brochure, December 2025, current range and model page. The brochure confirms wheel diameter and construction, but does not publish one complete tyre-sidewall specification for every body and grade.
Australian tyre-size references
| Size reference | Where it may appear | Evidence boundary |
|---|---|---|
| 225/95R16 | Narrow 16-inch replacement reference associated with some work-focused 70 Series configurations | Not universal; confirm the exact placard, load index, speed rating and tube/tubeless construction |
| 265/70R16 | Wider 16-inch replacement reference associated with some later GXL-style configurations | Not universal; confirm body, year, grade and complete placard specification |
Older 70 Series vehicles, imported vehicles and modified vehicles may use other markings. A size seen on another LandCruiser is not sufficient evidence for the vehicle being serviced.
Modified tyre sizes
| Status | What is published here | Why |
|---|---|---|
| No verified workshop fitment added in this revision | No larger modified size is presented as approved or proven | The current content audit did not identify a sufficiently documented LC70 installation with wheel width, offset and vehicle details |
For body-specific background, see the 79 Series Dual Cab guide and 70 Series Wagon guide. Any proposed larger tyre still requires wheel width and offset, wheel load rating, brake and body clearance, suspension height, rolling-diameter and speedometer checks, spare compatibility, alignment and South Australian legal assessment.
Specific tyre recommendations for placard-confirmed 265/70R16 vehicles
| Use | Pattern and complete catalogue size | Fitment note |
|---|---|---|
| Balanced all-terrain touring | Continental CrossContact A/T2 265/70R16 121/118S | Strong-load A/T candidate; confirm the placard and intended axle load |
| Mixed touring and work | Toyo Open Country A/T III 265/70R16 121S | Compare where the complete size, rating and construction match |
| Pattern comparison | Toyo Open Country LC70 guide | Use the guide to compare duty, noise and off-road priorities; not as a substitute for the placard |
These are catalogue candidates, not live-stock, price or universal-fitment claims. Vehicles using 225/95R16 must be matched separately; do not substitute a 265/70R16 recommendation simply because both use a 16-inch wheel.
Checks before fitting LC70 tyres
- Identify Single Cab, Double Cab, Troop Carrier or Wagon, plus WorkMate, GX or GXL and build date.
- Match full size, load index, speed rating and tyre construction to the placard.
- Account for GVM, front and rear axle loads, tray or body conversion, bullbar, canopy, tools, passengers, towing and tow-ball download.
- Confirm wheel width, offset, load rating, brake clearance and wheel-nut requirements from applicable documentation.
- Keep four-wheel-drive rolling circumference and the spare appropriate to the actual setup.
- Inspect suspension and steering, then balance and align after tyre or wheel changes.

Frequently asked questions
What tyre size does an Australian LandCruiser 70 Series use?
There is no single answer for every body, grade and year. 225/95R16 and 265/70R16 are useful Australian starting references, but the individual tyre placard is required.
Does every current LC70 use the same 16-inch wheel?
No. Toyota's December 2025 brochure lists both 16-inch steel and 16-inch alloy packages depending on body and grade.
Are larger LC70 tyre sizes factory sizes?
Do not assume so. A larger size must be labelled and assessed as a modified fitment unless supported by the exact Toyota specification for that vehicle.
