Help me solve a 70-series tire mystery! (16 Viewers)

[Red90]

Nobody seems to have mentioned that the 255/85/16 are available in the US

It has been mentioned quite a few times already.....

9.5” or so wide I think, maybe skinnier

255 mm = 10"

Seems to be a supplier/importer in the states

16x6" Gray Steel Wheels

Factory 16x6" steelies? Yeah, we have those... These are for VDJ79 trucks, but they look like they might work well on the 100 Series.

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 of blokes back in Australia running these tires and slightly larger (225/95R16) on their various Landcruisers, but so far I am unable to find anything remotely close to that here in the states..........apart from trailer tires and truck tires.
Are there any US-based 70 series owners who can source the OEM skinny tires or has found a similar solution?


PICTURE FOR REFERENCE. THESE ARE THE DUNLOP ROAD GRIPPER 225/95R16 which aren't available in the States.

Hey mate,

Not sure if you were aware but the Toyo AT3 is now available in this size and likely would meet DOT requirements.
They were released in Japan December 2024.
There’s a shop in Australia selling these and seem to have shipping available to the states.

TOYO 225/95R16 118S OPEN COUNTRY AT3

Toyo Open Country AT3 tires are versatile all-terrain tires known for their rugged durability and dependable performance on and off the road.

I contacted Toyo about this size being released in the states.
Now it’s available in Australia and Japan it’s possible it would meet DOT requirements and become available.

If it has DOT information, it is federally approved. Probably just has it for future market consideration.
