Does anyone know how to read the tyre placards that are on the inside of the glovebox cover? Could someone please tell me if you know what this one says or what it means? I am hoping it is a sandman one. Thanks Rusty

The rim size read standard HQ-HZ stuff thats 6 and 7 inch rims. The JJ is a safety rim, thats a little rise just inside the rim to hold the tyre in place. Ditto 70s tyre sizes too. However is does say 3 passengers and from memory a Sandman was only a 2 s

I think Byron knows the stuff better than me, but Sandmans came with bucket seats not bench seat..therefore 2 people not 3 people on the placard I guess.
A ER70 series is a 205/70 and suits a GTS with 6.00JJ GTS rims. The 185s were for Kings and Prems

You need to look at the number starting with a 9 in the bottom right corner of the placard.
These are the HZ tyre placard numbers from Byrons website.
The bottom 2 numbers are sandman ones.
9946868 - 6cyl panel van, ute except Sandman.

9946865 is the placard off a Kingswood sedan, Station wagon or Premier according to the HZ parts catalogue. HOWEVER for some reason it's listed in the commercial vehicles tyre placard in group 8.823 which doesn't make sense. Has anyone got an early HZ par |

I have an L34 with a DR70 tyre size which is 195 wide on the same 6.0JJ rim.
Tyre sizes are also relevant to load capacity and kurb weight of the vehicle, thats why the Torana |
