What to look for in Holden One Tonner tyres

Tyre choice on a ute is dictated by load before anything else. The placard load index is set for the vehicle at full payload, and a tyre that meets it unladen may be marginal with a full tray, a canopy or a loaded trailer on the towball. Light truck (LT) construction gives you a stiffer sidewall and a higher reserve, at the cost of a firmer ride and a little more road noise when the tray is empty.

Beyond load, the decision is really about where the vehicle spends its time. Highway-terrain tyres are quieter and cheaper to run for a ute that mostly does bitumen and the occasional gravel road. All-terrain tyres trade some tread life and fuel economy for chip resistance and traction on dirt, sand and wet clay. Mud-terrains only make sense if the vehicle genuinely lives in the rough — on sealed roads they are noisy, wear quickly and lose wet braking performance faster than most owners expect.

Holden One Tonner tyre sizes and fitment

Tyre sizes for the One Tonner vary by model year, variant and wheel option, so the vehicle placard is the specification that matters. It sets out the size, the minimum load index and speed rating, and the correct pressures. You can fit a higher load index or speed rating than the placard calls for, but going below either changes the safety margin the vehicle was engineered with. Because the One Tonner is no longer sold new, availability in the original size is worth checking early — some older sizes are now made by fewer manufacturers, and the remaining stock can be several years old. Check the four-digit DOT date code on the sidewall so you know how long a tyre has been sitting before it goes on your car.
