I still find the biggest question is the difference between sr, sr5 and trd. some people will say make = toyota, model = hilux, variant = sr/sr5/trd/workmate etc.
This is the thing that we need to figure out for all states...is a variant different to a model
It's all on toyota's website; check out this pdf- http://www.toyota.com.au/TWR/content/static/74844.pdf
Page 3 shows the differences between the models. So this shows how each model has to be treated indivually when working out legal tyre sizes. You should also note that the offsets are different for the different size rims. The TRD isn't listed any more as production has stopped on that model, but anybody with a TRD can supply the specs from their own tyre placard.
Brendan,
I think you will find that both the VSI and the Regulations state that it is the largest size available on that model. This means all Hilux... So TRD is the basis from my understanding. This is good info, as it means that 31" is legal on an SR5 and a SR. If based on Tyre placard of the SR5/SR alone, it would be about 19mm larger then an SR5...
Happy to quote the Regs/VSI when I have time.
