Hey guys,
since I'm still quite new in the scene, I have a maybe weird question.
I bought my HZJ80 cruiser a few months ago and basically the dealer didn't know too much about it.
Yesterday one tyre burst on the highway and so now I'm thinking about getting at least two new ones for that axle.
However, I'm really confused about what tyre size I can run on my cruiser.
Also I was wondering if it is allowed to run different sizes than the ones written in the door in Australia?
It has standard 31s on at the moment, but how could I
check if the cruiser has been lifted in the past and what would be the maximum size without any lifts?
I already figured out, that 285/75/R16 should fit without problems.
Cheers, Mark

If you are after 2 new tyres then you are locked to the same size as the other two, otherwise the diameters will be wrong and although your model may have a centre diff it will be working far more than it should if the tyres are different sizes.
You should use same size allround. Not advisable to have worn or smaller on one axle and bigger new on the other.
If not a constant 4wd model then you have to have the same, no matter what, otherwise you will get transmission windup and probable damage if and when in 4wd.
It may be a case of 4 new or nothing if a change of size is being considered. Then you need a spare of the same size so 5 all up.

That is appart from the fact that your vehicle will be unroadworthy.
Unless specified by the manufacturer vehicles must carry the same size, type and profile tyres on all wheels.
