Re: tires

I think a BF Goodrich 245/50/16 would be a nice size tire. I have BF Goodrich 295/50/15s on my stock set of 15s, and I like them alot.

Re: tires

Does nobody before posting & asking? This SAME question is asked every month.....A simple will give you the answer your looking for. without adding to the posts on TGO.

It gets old answering the same questions over & over, but ignoring a question seems rude. Maybe this response seems rude too, but it is simply direct & clear.

Re: tires

If your wheels are stock, they're 16"x8". Go to tire rack (www.tirerack.com) and see which tires will fit your 8" wide wheels. On the specs page for each tire they have the range for recommended wheel width. You probably can't go larger than 255 wide, depending on the series (40,45,50,etc). Also, keep an eye on the overall diameter because if you change that much from stock, your speedometer will be off a little.
