Stock tire size is 275/60/20 as it prob says on your sidewall. This is a 33" tire.
305/55/20 are what you want. They are pricey because it's what everyone wants..lol 305/55/20 is 33.2" tall
275=10.8" wide
305=12" wide Very noticeable width diff when they are mounted on your truck.
305 is the width not the height. 305/50 is shorter than stock. 305/55 is taller than stock. the 50/55 is the height ratio.

305/55 won't rub but the 275/60's will be much cheaper. Treaddepot has the best LTZ prices $165 per tire shipped. I wouldn't buy them local because they will prob cost much more and then you'll have to pay tax on that amount as well. Have them shipped. It will take like 3 days and no tax. Mount/balance will cost like $75. Total of like $725'ish out the door if you order them. Local place could only do $1300....F-that!
So does treaddepot ship them to a local shop to be mounted and balanced or how does that work if your not buying wheels Dog?

Go to tirerack.com and look at the specs on the tires - you need a 33" tire or a programer if you go with a shorter tire so your speedo will be correct. I'm running a 305\55\20 Pirelli Scorpion ATR....
