If you do not tow to heavy look at some 255-85-16 tires.
Well a quick search and BFG has load range E tires in that size.

Mine's got some pretty good sized tires on it, i'll check the size when I get home & post a pic. Tires are Bridgestone Dueler Revos - so far i'm nothing but impressed with them in everything from snow/ice to sand & mud.


The previous owner who put the tires on did have to put a spacer between the tires in the rear - I think its a 1" or 1.5" - i'll check for sure tonight for you.

i ran spacers for three years no probs, get what you pay for. only downside is sixteen more nuts to take off to rotate tires. my 2 cents. was running 285/75/16 destination mts looked great
