Original tire size?
Does anyone here know how I can find out what the original tire size was on my truck? The two sizes that were offered when the truck was sold were: 235/75R15 and 245/75R16. The tires that are on it now are: 265/70R16. I haven't tested the speedometer yet to find out if it's correct or not. But I removed the spare tire and the spare is a 15" tire. So I'm looking for a way to determine what the orginial tire size was. Thanks.

christaylor - The info was on my door sticker from the factory. Thanks. I should have known to look there!
Jimmy Dean - I bought the truck from a dealership with after market wheels.
So, the original tires were 245/75R16, the tires on it now are 265/70R16, so what the heck am I doing with a 15" spare? Guess I'll have to go buy a new one.
