295's are the safest bet. Check out the new FAQ - it's great
and covers this topic on tire sizes well:

The FAQ'S tire recomendation is for a 4x4, not sure if a 2 wheel drive sits as hi in the front.

Good point - I read the post too quickly. Your tire shop should
be willing to try on at least 2 if not 3 diff. sizes to make sure
they fit fine. That is what I did when choosing my 295's - I had them
bring in a set of 285's just in case there was rubbing and I had to
go down a size.

Thanks for catching that Yeti.... guess it really is time for me to
go get that morning coffee now!! :P
