Car wheels are not only an element of the exterior. They affect the smoothness of the ride, traffic safety, and the weight of the vehicle. Prado wheel sizes 120 and 150 are standard, so choosing wheels will not be difficult.

What is the tire pressure

Each tire manufacturer determines the pressure for tires individually, based on their technical indicators and characteristics. Exact data is always indicated in the vehicle's operating manual.

Auto discs

For the considerable dimensions of the Prado 120 (2002-2009), the following wheels are suitable:

• R17: width 6, offset 50 or width 7.5 with offset 30;
• R18: width 7, offset 30.

Prado 120 bolt pattern:

• fastening parameters (PCD) - 6 bolts per diameter 139.7 mm;
• diameter of the central hole (DIA) - 106.2 mm;
• nuts 12x1.5.

Possible wheel sizes for the Prado 150 (produced from 2009 to the present day):

• R17: width - 6.5, offset - 15 or width 7.5 with offset 25;
• R18: width 7.5 with offset 25;
• R20: width 8.5, offset 25.

Sensor sensitivity

• Sudden surges in pressure due to falling into a hole or road bump;
• Critical low/high pressure;
• Installation of rubber tires that are larger or smaller than the recommended standards;
• Installing a damaged tire;
• Uneven distribution of load on the axle, passengers in the vehicle interior;
• Systematic operation of the controller during lifting and lowering of the machine;
• Metal chains are installed on rubber tires.

Distinctive characteristics

This variety of tire offsets is explained by the design of the car: the Prado has wide and deep frames, which allows the installation of wheels of different diameters.

There are 3 types of wheels for cars: stamped (steel), cast and forged.

Stamped

Stamping is inexpensive, so it is installed on budget brands, to which the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado cannot be classified. Steel “caps” are stable: if they are bent from an impact, a tire shop can easily return them to their previous appearance. The main problem with stamped ones is their mass: they weigh a lot, which affects the handling of the car, adding extra pounds to the already difficult “Kruzak”. Externally, such wheels do not look very impressive - they are dissonant with the luxury of the Prado.

Cast

Alloy wheels are 20% lighter than steel and do not corrode - they are made from aluminum alloys. The simplicity of their manufacture determines the variety of sizes, shapes, number of gaps, and fastening patterns. But at the same time, cast wheels cannot withstand impacts: they burst from strong external influences, leaving the wheel defenseless.

Forged

Forged wheels provide maximum vehicle protection with low dead weight. During their production, the cast base undergoes additional processing, which increases its strength and reduces weight. Forging is used on sports cars - such a disc does not affect the handling of the car in any way. True, it costs a lot, but the investment is worth it.

Winter tires for Prado

All-season tires are not suitable for winter conditions in most of the CIS. In addition, in conditions of constant snow cover, studded tires are preferable:

• Dynapro i'cept (RW08). A low-noise tire with good stability and grip on snow and ice, but lacking grip in tight corners.
• i'Pike RW11 (RW11). Inexpensive, quiet and hard rubber that provides stability.
• WinterCraft SUV Ice WS31. Balanced, quiet, soft, grippy rubber with a small number of deeply recessed studs.
• NS3 Arctic Trekker. An inexpensive hard sidewall tire good for snow, mud and ice, but noisy, harsh and heavy on asphalt.
• UltraGrip Ice SUV. An inexpensive tire with good acceleration and braking performance on snow, slush and ice and water drainage, but noisy during break-in.
• UltraGrip Ice Arctic SUV. Provides traction on various surfaces, acceleration and braking. Good on snow, slush, ice. Remains soft in the cold. It exhibits lateral drift, noise on asphalt, and a low threshold for aquaplaning.
• GRANDTREK ICE02. Inexpensive, soft, noisy tire with good handling on asphalt, ice and snow, grip and cross-country ability.
• TR757. Inexpensive, soft rubber with decent grip and braking performance, but unbalanced and hardens in the cold.
• Bosco Nordico. Inexpensive tires with good grip on ice and compacted snow and average grip on slush. At the same time, it is noisy and exhibits lateral slip on ice.
• Winguard WinSpike SUV. Inexpensive, low-noise tire with good performance in various conditions, but with a narrow tread.
• ICE ZERO FR. Unbalanced, quiet, durable rubber that provides grip and stability.
• ICE ZERO. Inexpensive, noisy, soft tire with good grip in various conditions.
• iceGUARD Stud IG65. Inexpensive, low noise, comfortable, wear-resistant tire that exhibits lateral slip when cornering.
• HAKKAPELIITTA 9 SUV. Expensive tires with high handling, braking, and smooth ride on asphalt. Soft with firmly fixed thorns, insensitive to rutting. At the same time, it “floats” on dry asphalt and has low cross-country ability. Marriage occurs.
• NORDMAN RS2 SUV. An inexpensive tire with decent braking, acceleration and cross-country ability. Does not harden in frost.
• WR SUV 3. Provides good handling and smooth ride, but poor braking on ice.
• HAKKAPELIITTA 8 SUV. Expensive, universal tires with good braking on asphalt and combined surfaces and do not fall off when traction is lost. At the same time, it is noisy, unbalanced, wears intensively on asphalt, with low handling on ice and braking on loose surfaces.
• Bridgestone. Blizzak SPIKE-02 SUV. A tire with high levels of handling, stability and grip.
• Blizzak DM-V2. Expensive, wear-resistant, low-noise tires, suitable for snow and asphalt.
• Latitude Alpin 2. Expensive, quiet, soft tire with high handling and grip characteristics.

Change of shoes for the winter

The Prado tire size 120 or 150 does not depend on the time of year and is selected based on the parameters of the wheels.

For an earlier version of the car:

The size of Prado tires 120 and 150 can be changed, but you will also have to purchase a new “cap”. To save time, some car owners prepare winter and summer wheels separately, changing which requires less time and effort than changing shoes.

You will also have to change your spare tire for the winter: finding yourself on an icy road with only summer tires is not the most pleasant experience.

About winter tires

We can talk for a long time about whether it is worth changing tires with the onset of cold weather. Residents of warm regions prefer all-season tires - they cope with both dry summer asphalt and icy crust. But where it’s really cold, you shouldn’t skimp on winter wheels: summer wheels won’t grip snow or ice, which will reduce the car’s handling and increase braking distance.

How to disable pressure sensors

There is no such thing as deactivating a sensor for the reason that it is impossible, since the absence of equipment must be registered at the system level. In case of unauthorized deactivation of the controller, “Error” is displayed on the dashboard (lit).

Some car owners practice physically dismantling controllers in a service station. Do not try to do this on your own, as unprofessional intervention does not guarantee full functionality of the electronic control unit.

Drilling parameters

Wheel drilling does not depend on the size of Prado 150 or 120 rims: the wheel fastening is standard, so you can install any wheel with the appropriate parameters on it.

It is worth noting that the bolt pattern is the same for both models:

• PCD - 6 bolts per diameter 139.7 mm;
• DIA - 106.2 mm;
• nuts 12x1.5.

But at the same time, it will not be possible to install identical wheels on them: due to the difference in offset, the tires will “scratch” along the car body.

Principle of operation

• A pressure measuring sensor is installed on the inside of the tire. This must be done with the wheel lowered.
• After activation, the controller measures the pressure every 3 seconds and sends the data to the ECU. Bluetooth technology is used as a means of communication.
• The electronic control unit analyzes the obtained indicators for each of the wheels and compares them with the specified parameters.
• The end result can be duplicated on a smartphone if a special application is installed on the latter.

The best all-season tires for Toyota Land Cruiser Prado

The best tire models presented in our rating will help you cope with hot summer weather and severe frosts, as well as the large mass of a Japanese SUV.

Toyo Open Country H/T

Description of the tire. Increased density of the compound, reinforced breaker, improved performance - these features distinguish this Japanese model from its analogues.

The non-directional asymmetric tread pattern, the central part of which is three ribs of increased rigidity, improves traction and grip characteristics and allows you to confidently maintain directional stability.

Deep recesses and longitudinal channels do a good job of removing water and snow from under the wheel, allowing you to avoid the negative consequences of aquaplaning.

The transverse arrangement of the contact blocks of the edge blocks and non-standard rectangular recesses on the sides help to keep a large car on the surface of the track and improve its cross-country ability.

The uneven position of the checkers on the middle part of the profile helps to reduce the noise level to a low level.
