GU owners, just wondered if anyone has a GU with 265/75/16 printed as a factory size on their tyre placard ?
BTW, Your tyre placard should be a sticker on the inside of your glovebox lid.

Here's mine mate Attachment 43401
Thanks Steve, yeh same here, ive heard some GUs had 75/16 profile tyres listed on the sticker, and as I understand it, this is what your tyre placard needs to read if you want to run 33s legally, so a new sticker is in order me finks (lol), but first I need to know what model it came out on ? (if at all)
It will be interesting to see what you find out , maybe its a model never delivered to Australia ? You could always make your own sticker :) how's the new bar look ?
I have the same sticker as gaddy on mine it's a dx
Awesome !, its finally all finished but just needs powder coating, im very happy to say the least, and Scotty has been "unbelievably" patient with me (changing/adding stuff all the time), and has put in hours of help and welding :wink:Quote:

Mine says 70r16 as well. Odd there's a difference?
Nice looking bar as well. No more worrying about ripping off your bumper now.
Me and Steve were discussing this last night. The utes when sold with split rims ran a 7.50r16 tyre so believe the tyre placard is to reflect this on the utes.Quote:

Must be the utes with the wide wheel option that have it.
Here's mine that was engendered for engine change.Quote:

To import the patrols into OZ they have to put the smaller size on .Must have been some stupid decision a pencil pusher made on a low work load day when he was having a brain pause I reckon
You better hope Scott doesn't keep the bar for his new GU.
Thanks man, its also very practical (rear steps and great clearance etc) its going to turn heads i reccon :biggrin:Quote:

My 09 Do reads 235/80/16 but has 265/70/17. The rims are standard and speedo matches gps, can't see that lasting for too long:o
mine is a gu 2004 wagon has 265/75/16 thats all use why are some differant ???
govo what motor do you have i have a 4.2 an get around 16lts to 100kms not good. but my GU tyer size is 265/75/16 thinking if i put your size on would i get better fuel on a trip???
mine says 265/70/16 was told gu should have 285/75/16 is this right any one knows what is right???
Hi Guys I have a stock 2015 nissan patrol, does anyone know where the tyre placard is on the can as I cant find it.
Dose anyone know what pressure I should be running in my tyres?
G'day Johno mate!
Our GU's are some 15 + years older and their tyre stickers are up inside the glovebox roof from memory. Our tyres obviously aren't factory anymore so we just read the sides of the tyre brands for manufacturers specs there. Cheers!
Original sticker on my 2006 DX leafy ute said 7.5R16
Attachment 72512
Current sticker says 265/75 16R
Attachment 72513
Not cheap though! :)
Thanks guy for all your help, I found it, every car I have owned its always been on the inside of the door never in the glove box.
Most welcome bloke :-) !
So by the way, the Nissan part number for the Genuine Patrol Ute Tyre placard that reads 265/75/16
Is 99090-1Y404 , should your ....ahem....ute, say needs a replacement glovebox, and you can only obtain a sedan one with the smaller size on the sticker :rolleyes:
