How to determine stock size tire, will the vin help?

Good point, just a matter of figuring out which one. I will do a search on that . Thanks.

After a bunch of searching, I looked up my vin number. That showed up as having LT225/75r16 tires but to be sure, I checked the rpo codes. XHN also verified that it's LT225/75r16 tires. Checked the owners manual too but it didn't say for sure, just had an example that also said LT225/75r16

I'm gonna go with the 225s to help maximize my MPGs and maybe be able to hold it in 5 gear

Thanks again

I finally got around to swapping the tires to lt225 75 16. I went with new hercules courser ltr. Seems like the truck has more power, going up hills in 4th takes very little throttle now and I can actually use 5th gear without going 60mph plus. I haven't driven the truck much since the tire swap to calculate MPGs. Should have some results in the next week or so.

If your commute is 100 miles a day the best way to get great mpg is to buy a geo metro lol

Good point but I prefer a truck. Also i have plans to swap to a 6.2/6.5 diesel come winter time. Should bring my MPGs to the mid 20s
