  1. #1

    Tire size???

    i have stock 17's and am in need of some new tires. what would be a good size? i would like a shorter side wall and wider tire. i am running 265/65r17s right now. they are just too tall. Also, where would be a good place to purchase tires?

    When my stock generals go bald I'm getting the Toyo proxies II in 285/60/17 from tread depot.com seem to have a good price! Hopefully discount or ntb will price match though.

    will a 55 series tire be too short and look wierd on my truck or should i just stick with a 60 series tire? i wish there was a site where we could upload our truck and play with wheel options, suspension heights, and tire sizes.
