Default 295 75 r16

I am looking for tires that are comparable to these in size. There isnt much of a selection for this size and dont know what would be close. I dont really want to go much if any taller. Thanks for any help.

285's are not a wide as a 295 and a little bit smaller. This site should help you.

Not sure what the gear ratio is. I would assume stock. The speedo is right on if that says anything.

We'll assume 3.55 it will tell you on your build sheet, or on the sticker under your hood by the grill if it's still there.

So although you could probably stuff 35s, I would personally stick with 33s. 35 inch tires with 3.55 gears is no fun at all.

Yeah, that's what's normal in these trucks unfortunatley.
With that in mind i'd look for a set of 305/70-16s or 33x12.5 16s. They're the same size, just different ways of saying it.
