if you have a 1 tonne ute, you need to have load rated tyres on it.

The simple rule is that you have to have rims and tyres that meet or exceed the load rating supplied on the correct tyre placard for your vehicle. No you can not place a tyre placard from a lesser rated vehicle on either.

The guidelines have changed, although its still near impossible to put big wheels on 2wd light commercials. The 10% idea is a good one but to find a tyre in the right size with a high enough load to cover this is'nt easy.
When the rules first came out just after Xmas I went through all of my suppliers to find something and could'nt. Technically 16's are as big as you can go.

Have a read of the Guideline for the installation of alternative tyres, rims and wheels to Light Goods Vehicles in Queensland on QTs website.
Basically if you are going to use a passenger car tyre as opposed to a light commercial tyre you will need to fit a tyre that has a load rating (by mass not the load rating number) that is 110% of the manufacturer's. From the guideline..."The Tyre and Rim Standards Manual of the Tyre and Rim Association of Australia requires, for light goods vehicles when fitted with passenger car tyres, the selection of the correct tyre to be based on the highest individual wheel load multiplied by a service factor of 1.10." Hope that helps... Quote:
