Hilux pickup 4wd standard tyre size?

[_dg]

Can someone please tell me the factory standard tyre profile from a mk4 hilux 4wd?

I've googled for hours, nothing in my user guides and nothing on past receipts

On the tyres it just has 205/r16 - but I'm looking for prices and I need the profile size for web quotes

And BTW are Hankook tyres any good?

Cheers

Hankook are good mate.

I think 205r16 is a size...

check www.camskill.com

Its one of the few strange measurements.

Best ask on www.elite4x4.co.uk as it has a few members with Mk.4 pickups.

205 r 16 = 205/80 r 16 = 29x8x16

(80 being an old standard ratio for tyres apparently, so normally on an 80 profile tyre the 80 is left out, and unless otherwise specified you can assume the tyres an 80 profile)

however, i believe if it was an imperial size ie) 7.50x16 it would be assumed to be 100% profile, so a 7.50x16 (standard landy size) is equavalent to a 31" x 7.50" x 16 could be wrong on that again.

I didn't know the '80' rule.

best hope i'm right then mate i remember reading it before somewhere, but could never remember the metric / imperial = 80 / 100 thingy, til now, so hopefully i remembered it right
