A 275/60/15 will fit the wheel nicely, or if you like a little taller....I run a 255/70/15 on the rear of my longhorn. Up front you my opt for a slightly smaller tire (275/60 rear- 255/60 front). best of luck,crazyL

Can you run a 275/60 in the front? I am wanting to get all 4 the same size so I can rotate and have a spare to fit. Thanks

Sure you can, as long as your truck sets stock height or real close to stock.
