What size tyres are on a 16 inch HiLux?

The standard tyre size for a Toyota HiLux with 16-inch wheels is 265/70R16. This size provides a good balance of ride comfort, handling, and off-road capability for the HiLux's intended use as a mid-size pickup truck.


Explaining the Tyre Size


The tyre size 265/70R16 can be broken down as follows:



  • 265 - The tyre width in millimeters.

  • 70 - The aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the tyre's sidewall height to the tread width. In this case, the sidewall height is 70% of the tread width.

  • R - Indicates a radial tyre construction.

  • 16 - The wheel diameter in inches that the tyre is designed to fit.


This tyre size is a common choice for the Toyota HiLux, as it provides a good balance of on-road performance, off-road capability, and load-carrying capacity to match the vehicle's intended use.


Considerations for Tyre Selection


When selecting tyres for a Toyota HiLux, there are a few key factors to consider:



  • Vehicle Compatibility - The tyre size must be approved for use on the HiLux model and year, as specified by the manufacturer.

  • Load Rating - The tyre must have a sufficient load rating to support the weight of the vehicle when fully loaded.

  • Driving Conditions - For on-road use, a highway-terrain tyre may be preferred, while for off-road use, an all-terrain or mud-terrain tyre may be more suitable.

  • Tread Depth and Wear - Regularly inspecting tyre tread depth and replacing worn tyres is important for safety and performance.


By selecting the appropriate tyre size and type for their Toyota HiLux, drivers can ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity from their vehicle's tyres.
