Re: Tire size question

You have to know the width of the wheel so you can see what tire size to use.

When I was needing tires I took the truck to a tire shop and they removed a tire and measured the width of the rim. Then they checked their book and told me what size tires would work without messing up my speedometer.

Re: Tire size question

Assuming you have 7,8 or 10 inch wide wheels (99 percent guarantee you do), a nice set of 275/60/15s look nice and meaty under a stock height truck.
