I would like to upgrade my stock tires and could use some advice. I want to pick up a nice set of AT tires. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with General AT 2's. What would be a good size to go with? I was thinking maybe something one size bigger than the stock 225/75/16's. Thanks in advance!

anything smaller then a 255/70/16 would work. The tire i stated has been the biggest fitted on a stock truck so far ( mine and one other board members) and there is slight rubbing ( it could not be wheeled hard) Thr stock tire diameter is 29.1 i believe, the diameter of my tire is 30.1. so anything in between :wink:

So a set of 245/75/16's would be a decent choice?

nope... a 245/75/16 is a 30.5" diameter. a 245/70/16 is a 29.5" diameter which would fit

K, so 245/70/16 is the size I would be looking for? (No rubbing and a bit bigger than stock, right?)

BTW Thanks for the info. :D

you can get 245/75 if you want to lift it...so if you want larger tires, you might as well lift it first then get tires

I don't really want to do a lift kit. I just want a nice AT tire that's a little bigger than stock. (Not really planning on wheeling. .........just want a nice tire for the miserable Chicago winters.)
