What size tires fit on a stock 1ton cc 4x4??
 
I will be picking up a crew cab srw this week and it needs new winter tires to make the trip home and be drivable. I usually use tire rack to find sizes and compare prices but they dont list a 1ton crew cab 4x4. Whats the usual tires size for said truck? Would I just use a reg cab 1 ton for reference? I was thinking for size it should be 275/75/16 but would like opinions...

On another note has anyone used the goodyear wrangler duratrac? Any other good winter tire suggestions?

I have a 1984 GMC Sierra 3500 2wd Single rear wheel that came stock with 235/85/16.

I run Bridgestone Dueler Ats but just both 2 NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA LT TIRES for my rear tires for the winter.

These are suppose to be the best winter tires in the world.

If you are putting any weight in truck you want at least load D, I use E on mine. BTW, I have LT215/85R/16 on the C7E C & C 1 ton.

Load C tires are too light. They will be bouncy and wear themselves out in 15k miles. I tried them on my reg cab 3/4 ton, and they sucked. When I went back to E tires it improved the ride 10x. I havent tried out a load D tire as i couldnt find one in the size I wanted.

I'm running 285/75/16 (33/11.5/16) on my 1 ton, but it is a RC DRW. The front is really the main place you need to worry about clearance. I clear them just fine, and I believe my front is sagging a bit as well anyway. Although since you specify you are looking for a good winter tire, narrower would be better correct? A 255/85/16 would measure roughly 33/10.0/16. Or 235/85/16-32/9.25/16.

I ordered a set of the goodyear duratrac 265/75R16, They have a great tread design and from all the reviews I got from around my area where great so I went with them. I aslo went with load range E and this truck will be uses as such and dont need any issues with ballooning. Thanks for all your advice guys, I get the truck tomorrow and then get the tires and will be home friday just in time for christmas. Its supposed to snow thursday night so I will report back on how well the tires do.
