In an Armoured Toyota Land Cruiser, the armouring adds up thousands of extra kg weight to the base vehicle, where it is recommended to upgrade the OEM tyres to Light Truck-metric ("LT") tyres for durability and drivabilty. The LT tires are designed to be used on vehicles that are capable of carrying heavy cargo.
The upgraded tyre width & aspect ratio (height) and rim size is purely based on our customer requirements. However, being an expert in armoured Toyota land cruiser, we recommend an upgraded size of 275 width 70/ 65 aspect ratio(height) and 18-inch alloy wheels for better stability and drivability. We tested our armoured Toyota land cruiser with bespoke specifications with Millbrook UK for drivability test and have achieved exceptionally good results.
While choosing a tyre for an armoured vehicle, Load, Speed and Ply ratings are very significant dimensions to consider for maximum comfort and driving in different terrains.
