For me, the dream would be if Dunlop started selling the Road Gripper tire here in the States. They do a 225/95R16 which equates to about a 33x9, so a proper pizza cutter. Just gives that classic look to a Cruiser. I have found a source to import them but I bet the DOT would have a fit if I got...
Spotted this on IG yesterday. This is stance porn for me, though I know I will never get tires that tall and skinny in the US so it’s a bit of a bummer.
I can get the TG-21 through a company here but they aren't approved by the Department of Transportation. They would only be for offroad use. If I were to get in to an accident with non-DOT approved tires, I could be in serious s*** :confused:
Hey everyone.
I'm trying to find a tire in the 235/85r16 or 7.50r16 range that sits fairly close to flush with the face of the rim. The Land Cruisers that I grew up riding around in Australia all had the true pizza-cutter look and thus the tires didn't have much of that bulge in the sidewall. Is...
I really appreciate everyone's input on this. You've all helped to clear up a lot of questions I had.
I think I will bite the bullet and go for the 255/85's in the Toyo.
Thanks again everyone!
Hey all.
I am the owner of a 60-series Landcruiser who is desperately in search of some proper TALL, SKINNY tires for my truck. Several people have pointed me in the direction of the standard tires used on 70-series Landcruisers in Australia and UAE; which are around 7.50R16. I have seen plenty...
Hey all,
I wanted to get some expert opinions on this before I start making any purchases. I am looking at getting some 16"OEM steelies for my 62. As far as all-terrain tires go, what are my options? The BFG K02 in 235/85 seems to be the most common choice, but are there alternatives? I am...
Hey all,
Just wanted to say hello to fellow PNW Cruiser/4X4 owners and introduce myself, Leon, and my 62 that I picked up a couple of weeks ago.
I moved from Australia to the US about 4 years ago. I grew up riding around in my dads HJ60, so I am pretty stoked to take the 62 out and meet some...
Hey gang,
Just picked up this lovely '89 Freeborn Red FJ62. It's a Southern California truck that's pretty much seen only highway miles and is virtually rust free.
I'm planning on keeping it in largely original condition as it is now, though I wouldn't mind some new rubber and rims and a roof...
Yeah the 60 is still back home in Australia. I get to work on it and drive it whenever I head home for holidays. I am looking at a couple of 60's and 62's for sale this week so hopefully I get to join one of the gatherings in Portland soon.
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself and share a photo of the HJ60 my brother and I (mostly my brother) have been rebuilding back in Australia. The truck belonged to my dad who parked it under a tree for years before my we 'inherited' it and have been slowly been rebuilding it and...
