I went and got a quote on tires the other day and the salesman and I got into it. When I told him what size I wanted (225) he said the tire size for my truck was 245. Well we went back and forth for a while and finally I told him to march his a$$ out to my truck and read the sticker. Let's just say that he learned the meaning of "The customer is always right.". What's everybody else's stock tire size? Do I have an oddball? To conclude the story I'm gonna get 245 BFG's. Figured I'd downgrade from my 265's to see if I can get better mileage and a smoother ride.

 

I have 225 also , but if you are going to change to 245 or 265 your speedometer is going to give you a false reading , make sure you drive next toyour buddy on the Hi-way and compare with them to be sure.

 

Mine is 245 stock.

 

The standard tire size is 225/75/16, this comes on most base model trucks.
The Lariets have 245/75/16 as a factory option.
I'm looking for some on mine but I'm going with 265/70/15 which is about the same circumference.

As far as going to a smaller tire to save gas, probably not even measurable,
nowif you were dropping from a 35 to a 245 then you'll save some gas.

 

Mines sticker says 245/75 16 but my spare is a 265/75 16, which is what I bought the truck with. Currently running 285/75 R 16s and yeah the gas mileage is pretty un noticable. Actually mines been a little better latley cause i've put on a alot of highway miles. but if youmostly drive around town the smaller tires will be better for your mileage. but it's pretty miniscule. The bigger tires look better

 

You are right that is the 4x4 size.

 

Hey, hey, hey!! No ferd speak here. [sm=boosign.gif]

 

think you can get a speedo gear from a different model to make up the difference.I've got a different speedo gear in mine and withh 33's it's dead on.

 

My stock (and current) tire size is 225. Looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too small, IMO. As soon as these tires wear out, I'm putitn some big meat diggers on.

 

My stock tires are 245/75/16. Im upgrading (as soon as these where out) to a 285/75/16.
