Exactly. I have always, slightly, increased my tyre size when replacing the factory originals. One thing to check on the Kluger is the clearance between the rear tyres and the strut. There doesn't seem to be much room there. 255 should fit fine. I have 275/45-20 (8'5 x 20 rim) on mine............has 8 mm gap between tyre and strut. My new wheels are going to be 265/35-22 (9x22) gap will be same. Do they fit into the spare tyre holder? Do you have any photos? I haven't seen a Kluger with different rims yet. Not sure for spare.........its standard one.(same radius)........but don't think it would fit....too wide You are right, there is no big choice for Kluger. It took me 4 weeks searching for new 22's.......most 22's are 9'5x22 or 10x22 whats too wide for back. 9x22 fits nice but with 265 tyre. I will post some pics once i take some photo's BTW i will have my 20's for sale soon. Do you know if going for a wider tyre affects insuarnce or warranty? my tyre guy advised seriously against it for these reasons?

Good point, i guess if you can afford a porshe, you can afford to splurge!

I actually heard of someone doing that. Ironically, it might also be cheaper in the long run if you went with the big 20" 'bling' rims. At least the tyre profile would be more common. Im sure that the 19" tyre size will become more popular in time. Isnt there another car model with this spec? (thought i heard about another new car having the 19s too.) Unfortunately the buggers have us cornered, i went the option to my local tyre guy and asked if i could put the 17 inch wheels on, but Toyota have altered the KX-S and Grande load ratings, making it not warrantable (i believe this to be so) to put un-loadworthy wheels on these 2 models. The weight must have been changed. Otherwise, i could have put a set of 4 wheels on with tyres for the same price as 4 sets of tyres! I also do not know what this does to your insurance! I hadn't asked the 20 inch size question though! I ave only taken on 2 tyres at present hoping like mad that in the next month some competition will have been made available to bring these guys back to bloody reality!!! i mean come on $500/tyre what a bloody rip off!!!

Hi, i have just ordered anew set of tyre for my KX-S only to find their is one option of tyres for this model and they are $500 EACH in Australia. Anyone now of other tyre prices or options? (I thought this may be an issue many would have come across by now, as it is highway robbery at the moment for these Bridgestone tyres!) On a separate issue, has anyone had an issue with the FM radio staying in stereo and not dropping back to mono all the time? I travel extensively throughout Australia and i have noticed with my unit that even when traveling close to high reception areas my stereo fades between stereo and mono all the time and it frustrates the heck out of me. I actually ad Toyota replace the head unit only to have it happen with the next one as well. I drove a hire car (Aurion) that had a different head unit but had the same problem. Is anyone else noticing this? Has anyone added an external antenna to their Kluger to get around this perhaps?
