    Largest standard tyres on DII in the world - eg on G4

    Hi all. Unless and until Qld adopts the current Australian Code of Practice for mods including tyre sizes for genuine 4wd vehicles, currently anyone with 265/70/16 and above are technically illegal in Qld..having said that that tyre looks good and does not look oversize. The TORUM that covers it does not refer to the tyre placard that I can see and refers to no more than 15mm over the largest standard size by the manufacturer....does that mean in the world...arguably. So, I reckon from memory that the G4 Disco IIs ran a 75 profile tyre that was still about 235/245 wide...does anyone know the specs or can refer me to a site that contains same.

    Cheers

    I'm not sure, but it was probably whatever was fitted to the Bowler Wildcat which runs D2 axles.

    They ran LT225/75 MTRs, in Aus at least - just very slightly larger than the 235/70s.

    I know I don't wear glass if I can get away with it, but that doesn't look like a D2 to me!

    I used to have a magazine with a couple of pics of the G4 D2s from which I determined that they had to be 225s - not big or wide enough to be 245s.

    As I understand it, the rule relates to the axle, so if you run LandCruiser axles you can run 31's, if you run Unimog axles you can run 44's etc, but it needs to be the largest for the axle. AFAIK thats why there was some excitement over a factory build by Toyota I think it was of a big tyred Prado or something for Iceland. The Bowler Wildcat uses Disco2 axles.

    Thanks fellas. Unfortunately in Qld its based on the largest size as fitted by the manufacturer on the particular vehicle being assessed - ie not on axles manufactured by the manufacturer; at moment no larger than 15mm above the max size as standard...unless and until the uniform code which currently is up to 50mm greater rolling diameter.

    Cheers
