Are these Yokohama GO12's what you had a issue with Dave 2000?
Yes that is the same version.

I have a UK 24V manual and would say that 285/75/16 is the max diameter you can go before the increase in gearing begins to have an impact when towing at approaching 3500 kg on a manual , even without a trailer on steep single track lanes it's noticeable , obviously an auto can cope better due to the TC .
Another thing to note is with 285/75/16's my speedo is spot on at 60mph according to a gps generated speed......beware you have no leeway with speed cameras
I have come across the stud issue a number of times. I think there are a number of causes.
It could all start with one gorilla with a rattle gun pulling the hell out of the studs. A stud breaks and the owner replaces 'IT'. The remaining over stressed studs now slow but sure snap and each time only one gets replaced. I have had a couple break, coincidently on the rear? I replaced the set and no problems since.
There is also some confusion as to the correct stud lengths available, I have come across three different sizes on my LC, I did mention it awhile back, the front IIRC are longer than the rear but, also found an even shorter version on one of the rear hubs as well.
Rear easy to change, fronts a PITA as the hub/disc assembly has to come off.

Buy new, no debate about this is needed.

There seems to be a lot of interest getting Toyota OEM parts from Amamaya? I think that's spelt right?
Other than that Toyota dealer.

Looks like for just the front wheels only, have a look to see if they have for the rear as well?

There may be those that disagree, but IMO 305 is too wide for an 8" rim. I had 295 on 8" and could feel a sideways deflection (there's probably a term for this that I don't know).
I like 305 on the truck even though there are compromises on power and fuel economy, so I went to 10" rims when I bought a full set of 5.
They grip nicely, sit square on the asphalt, flex well on rocks and do ok in the mud.
The debate of fat vs skinny will rage on forever, I just have an overwhelming preference for fat
Anyway, the simple point I'm trying to make is the ride is much improved when wider tyres (probably 195 and over) are used on a wider rim, IMO.
Remember i fitted a wheel and tyre from your shed on my truck Clive , was that a 16x10 with 305 / 70 or 75 or something else altogether ?
I'm kicking myself for not taking a photo at the time .
It is funny here in Spain watching the tyre fitters using the gun until it stalled and the studs are crying out for relief, and then he will pick up a torque wrench that was lying already 'set' and go around and check the nuts/bolts!
Unsure where they get their training?
