tire size

you could try 285/75/16's or some 33x12.50's but their going to probably be more expensive. metric tires are labeled according to width in mm(ex. 265), then percentage of stated width(ex. 75) this is the height, then rim size. hope this helps

i have 33/15.5/16's ATZ's on my truck currently. i dont think mickey thompson makes them anymore though. Interco's SX version still offers a 15.5 33' i believe.
i have a couple pics of them on my page. just side veiws no fron or back. the wider you go the worse it will handle. the truck follows every line on the road, had to make knuckle stops so the tires didnt get into the body @ full lock.

Anyway, I run 285/75/16's, and like it very much. If you shop around you can get them for only a little more than the 265's, and IMO the 285 is the tire any full size 4WD should have come with. Look better, ride better, handle better, they just plain fit. I like 315's the best, but I just can't swing a set of those every year.

These are what I usually run as well, for the same reasons. Awesome, awesome all season tire. If you're a big off-roader I'm sure there's better choices, but you can't beat this tire on the street. I wish I could afford to run them all the time, but I usually get about ten months out of a set of tires (40K) and I need something fresh for winter. So right now I'm running some Mastercraft somethingorothers that are the size I like, which I picked up used for under $300 OTD. When we get our first snow, I'm putting new Cooper AT³ on for the season, and whenever they're running the bars off next summer I'll put these Mastercraps on again until next winter, etc.

I have bfg a/t. They are pretty much 34x12.5. I think they are the best tires on the market. Real pricey though. First set I've had since 2001. I had some 33x12.50 back then. That set last me about 60,000 miles. Hope this set will do the same. I doubt it though the truck I had then weighed 5200 pounds vs 8000 pounds now
