Yea, I think a 255/70/15 would be good for a 3/4 drop, but I don't really want to go through the trouble of installing shackles/hangers. I know a 255/60/15 would work nicely with a 5/5. I wonder about a 225/75/15, which were the factory sized tires for the truck. My speedometer would stay the same, snow traction (I live in Connecticut), would still be good with the 225, and I'd probably get the best gas mileage with them. I wonder if a 225/75/15 would rub on a 5'' drop.
