Touring & eco
With economy-tier power and daily driving, your tyres have an easy life. Spend on wet braking and longevity, not outright grip.
The Mitsubishi Triton GSR (2025) is a all-wheel drive ute with 150 kW and a kerb weight of 2,170 kg. That’s 69 kW per tonne, in the economy tier. City cars, small hatches, workhorse utes and big 4x4s. The tyres have an easy life.
69kW/t
Likely under the P-plate limit. Under 130 kW/t on kerb weight. Legal eligibility uses tare mass, and engine modifications or a banned listing can still rule a car out. Check eligibility →

Factory sizes, from one source or with a load/speed rating we couldn't confirm. Wheels get changed: your tyre placard, in the driver’s door jamb, is the authority on size, load index and speed rating.
For a mild, wet climate. Cold and snowy climates are further down.

Gravel & off-road
For gravel and dirt, an all-terrain's tougher carcass matters more than outright grip.
Also consider: if you rarely leave the bitumen, touring.
Estimates from power and weight. The tyre placard on the driver’s door jamb is the legal minimum.

All-wheel drive: replace all four
Keep all four tyres the same make, model and near-identical tread depth. Many AWD systems tolerate only 2–3 mm of difference before the centre coupling or diff is strained, so a single damaged tyre can mean replacing the set, or shaving a new one to match.
Ute
If you tow or carry heavy loads, Light Truck (LT) construction gives stronger sidewalls and a higher load rating. Check pressures laden versus unladen: most utes list both on the placard.
Buying only two?
On AWD, avoid it. On other cars, put the new pair on the rear axle: grippy rears keep the car stable when braking or cornering in the wet.
From the factory: 265/60 R18 110H (GSR 18in). Wheels get changed, so check your car's tyre placard, in the driver's door jamb, before buying.
69 kW per tonne (93 hp per tonne), from 150 kW and a 2,170 kg kerb weight. That puts it in ratio's Economy tier.
For everyday driving, touring & eco tyres. Good options include the Michelin Primacy SUV+, Continental EcoContact 7, Michelin Energy XM2+. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating on the car's tyre placard.
Likely, on power-to-weight: at 69 kW per tonne on kerb weight it is under the 130 kW/t limit for P-platers in NSW, Victoria and Queensland. Legal eligibility uses tare mass, and engine modifications can still make a car off-limits.
Cars in the Economy tier typically run T or H-rated tyres. The legal minimum is whatever your placard, on the driver's door jamb, specifies.
