legal tyre size qld Page 3

When it comes to tyre sizes in Queensland, the law isn’t a free-for-all tyre shop sale. The legal tyre size must comply with your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications, which you can find in your owner’s manual or on the tyre placard usually stuck inside the driver’s door. Queensland follows the Australian Design Rules, meaning tyres must match the original equipment or be approved alternatives that don’t adversely affect safety.

Running wildly oversized or undersized tyres can lead to issues with speedometer accuracy, vehicle control, and even void your insurance if things go pear-shaped. For accurate advice and buying options, you might want to check out Tradingpost or CarShowroom, where listings usually specify compliance.

Bottom line: Stick to manufacturer specs or approved equivalents. Off-roading isn’t a legal excuse for tyre anarchy.
