2nd new guy from Long Island, NY

Hey guys, ive been the owner of a 1993 c1500 std cab sb 305 for a year now, and ive been a long time onlooker of this site. As it was my first car, it needed some upkeep and this forum has definitely helped me out. Eventually i made an account, and now its time for my first silly question. I need tires for my truck, my sticker inside the door is worn out to solid white, i currently have 31 x 10.5 r15s according to the sidewall of the tire, and i cannot seem to find this size anywhere, any suggestions? I would love to run general grabbers, as ive never heard them get a bad review. Thanks for any help in advance.

I'm assuming they are 245/75/16. Check out tirerack.com for correct size.

10.5 inches converts to 254- which as far as i know isnt a standard tire width

They are either 235/75-15 or 225/75-15. You can Check your glove box and do the decoder.

its in the 1st post as a pdf file.

Welcome!
C1500 factory size is 235/75-15.
That 'Tirerack' link will show you the height, width, & rev's per mile, with the percentage the different sizes change the speedo reading, along with lotsa other info. Also whether or not the chosen size is safe for the vehicle. (Mine aren't on the '98! Oooops! Oh well!)

Thanks folks! Living in ny with bald tires, the idea of bad weather makes me quiver. I just want to be safe, and not get stuck in the light snow were expecting around the holidays. (All my friends have 4x4 pickups, you could imagine the hell i get when theres snow). Im ordering something tonight

Slippy, all my factory stickers (besides the one stating my truck was made in indiana) are completly worn out, from the door jam to the windsheild to the dash/ glovebox. This truck was definitily used by the last owners
