Tire size ?

I'm getting two new front tires today. My rear dually tires are 265s and my old front tires are 245s. The truck came with these tires when I bought it last year. Should I stick with 245s or get same size as the back tires? What are pros and cons? The back ones are BFGoodrich rugged trail or something like that.

I would get the same size and brand of tire all around that way you can rotate them if you want and it will look better. I do see some duallys that have a street tire on the front and an all terrain on back. I guess it is just preference. I would at least stay with the same size.

The co-op in Dickson Tn. said they have the tires and also do alignments for these type trucks. The alignment is $100. Is that price in line with others?

Hi tn,
The stock sizes are on your door jamb but as neal pointed out the same size would make sense for rotation purposes. Also I have been looking at tirerack.com and they seem to be great prices with about 80 bucks for delivery then you can diy or take them somewhere.

X2 on tirerack, just got mine from them. and check to see how far you are from their warehouse, you might be able to just go pick them up. that's what i did, but i'm only about 70 miles from their reno warehouse.
I just also had an alignment done, $74.95.
