Which series, which model, what engine and XX7 or XU3? There are probably 20 different tyres.
Agro, try John Cain. Never heard of 255/50/15 before though. He'll probably have 245/50/15 and maybe 275/60/15.

HZ Sandman Ute...12/78....Came with ER70 H14..Goodyear Supersteel, from the factory.
"Proud To Be An Old Fart".
HZ has 3 x different tyres. The one Robbo mentioned is option QEU (the XX7 tyre). XU3 used QCP which had 2 x different specs. Post 6/9/77 they were FR78S14 4 P/R steel belted tubeless radials, and before that I have yet to find the right paperwork, all I know is the spec changed. Possibly the early examples used non steel belted radials?
a few years ago I picked up a nos rallyII rim and tyre from a old holden dealer in QLD... the dealer told he he had it because a sandman was delivered new with the spare missing... the dealer ordered a replacement but the sandman owner never returned to pick it up... the tyre is a Michelin 185SRZ14ZX Radial..Originally Posted by HK1837
as the tyre isnt off my HQ i would be happy to see it sit in a sandman where it belongs
i will post a photo tomorrow
cheers Al
I don't recall ever seeing that listed. I'll look later. It might be off a 6cyl Sandman?
What are the chances the dealer took a new wheel down to the local tyre shop and put a tyre on it?
the rim still had the picking label attached to it when i got it....
Don't have a pic or the label still do you?

I just looked up the tyre options on HJ. There are 2 x tyre codes for a ZX radial: QRR and QRA. QRR has load range ML, QRA load range HL. QRR wasn't available on any commercial vehicles, but QRA was available for utes & vans.
QRA suits the following in HJ (QRR is basically the same but not on utes or vans):
Belmont 6cyl sedan & wagon
Kingswood 6cyl sedan & wagon
HOLDEN 6cyl van and ute
Kingswood 6cyl ute
Premier 6cyl sedan and wagon
LS 6cyl
Statesman Deville
Belmont V8 sedan & wagon (except Belmont sedan with 308 and twin exhaust)
Kingswood V8 sedan & wagon (except Kingswood sedan with 308 and twin exhaust)
Premier V8 sedan & wagon (except Premier sedan with 308 and twin exhaust)
LS V8 (except 308 with twin exhaust)
HOLDEN V8 van and ute
Kingswood V8 ute
Unfortunately it doesn't suit GTS (in HJ anyway). This should be the same/similar for HQ and HX. When XX7 10cwt was introduced later in HJ it is quite possible the QRR tyre became available also on XX7 and XU4 so it could be that too.
These are not the base tyre for utes and vans though.
I'll have a look tonight but i'm pretty sure my HJ Premier had Michelin ZX when new as it was ordered with 6" rims but it only had single exhaust. I'm pretty sure the spare is still in the boot. I have a feeling it may have been QRR though as QRR is the sedan tyre. Can you have a look at it and see, if it turns out to be a QRR tyre i'll be real interested, primarily as I am about to put GTS rims on the Premier and this would include a spare. Would be nice to put an original, untouched spare tyre on the spare wheel!

Byron there is no mention of QRR or QRA or load range HL or ML... all it says is max load 1540lbs at 40psi
i am posting some photos now
Also the part number on the inside of the rim is M50663 if that helps any
