R16 TYRES NZ: 16-INCH TYRES FOR CARS, UTES & 4WDS
R16 is the modern standard — fitted to most new sedans, SUVs, utes, and commercial vehicles in New Zealand. We stock 60+ options across passenger, commercial, all-terrain, and mud-terrain categories with free North Island delivery.
🔧 WHAT ARE R16 TYRES?
R16 tyres fit 16-inch diameter rims — now the standard factory fitment for most modern vehicles in New Zealand. From city sedans to lifted 4WDs, R16 covers an enormous range of applications.
R16 CATEGORIES
- Passenger (e.g. 205/55R16) — Standard construction for sedans, hatchbacks, wagons. Optimised for comfort, handling, and fuel efficiency.
- SUV/Crossover (e.g. 225/65R16) — Higher load ratings for heavier vehicles. Better ride comfort with increased capacity.
- Light Truck/Commercial (e.g. 7.50R16, 235/65R16 8PLY) — Reinforced construction for vans, trucks, and heavy loads. 8-14PLY ratings.
- All-Terrain (e.g. 265/70R16 A/T) — Versatile on-road/off-road capability. Perfect for utes and 4WDs used daily.
- Mud-Terrain (e.g. 285/75R16 M/T) — Aggressive tread for serious off-road. Deep lugs for mud, rocks, and sand.
🚗 PASSENGER R16 TYRES

❓ R16 TYRE FAQS
R16 indicates the tyre fits a 16-inch diameter rim. The "R" stands for radial construction. For example, 205/55R16 means 205mm width, 55% aspect ratio, radial construction, for a 16-inch wheel.
For 4WDs and utes, 265/75R16 is the most searched size (~300 searches) followed by 285/75R16 (~220) and 265/70R16 (~236). For passenger cars, 205/55R16 leads (~180 searches), fitting Camry, Accord, Mazda 6, and similar sedans.
7.50R16 and 7.00R16 are commercial light truck sizes using imperial measurements. Common on Toyota Dyna, Hino Dutro, Isuzu NPR, older Hiace, Land Rover Defender, and heavy-duty trailers. The 14PLY and 12PLY ratings handle serious loads up to 1400kg per tyre.
Both are 265mm wide on 16-inch rims. The difference is sidewall height: 265/70R16 has a 70% aspect ratio (shorter sidewall, ~30.6" diameter). 265/75R16 has 75% aspect ratio (taller sidewall, ~31.6" diameter) — about 1" taller overall, giving more ground clearance and cushion for off-road.
285/75R16 (~33") will fit most modern utes with minor guard trimming. Hilux, Ranger, Navara, and Triton can usually accommodate them stock or with slight modifications. A 2" lift gives better clearance and prevents rubbing at full lock. 315/75R16 (~35") requires more extensive modifications.
For heavy towing (boats, horse floats, large caravans), look for 10PLY (Load Range E) minimum. Commercial trucks and serious load-haulers should use 12PLY or 14PLY like the 7.50R16 and 7.00R16 options. Check load index numbers — 120/116 means 1400kg single wheel, 1250kg dual wheel capacity.
