Well, Lets get more detailed and i'll help you look.
First, your keeping your stock rims right? What size is your current tire on there? 265/70/16????
Second, do you want to keep the same size tire, or go with a more lower profile for better handling. If you do that though, your tires might look too small for your truck, if you don't increase the size of your wheels.
Third, what kind of tire are you looking for? Something sticky and soft for handling, or more of a all terrain type tire like on your stock truck.
Answer these 3 questions and we can start looking for specials and so forth. Sometimes you can find a really good tire with a 4 for 3 special, buy 3 and get the 4th one free.
I await your response....(that sounded dorky)

LoL..ok Tom, here we go:
Current tire size is 265/70/16
I think I want to go a slightly smaller profile. The handling on my truck on wide turns is kinda weak.
I definately want something that is sticky, but I dont want to have to buy new tires in 10K miles...know what I mean? Too bad your kuhmo's were 17's
I have a 16x7.5 rim i think....

Your request has been processed and the ideal tire for your specified requirements has been determined. The link below will supply you with the results. We have selected a 255/55VR16 for your vehicle. This will lower the profile enough to give you great performance and will still look good on your wheel. The tire is designed for wheels 7-9 inches wide. Your rim, whether it be 7 or 7.5 inches, will be a perfect fit because the tire is designed fat enough to fit on a 9 inch rim, which means that they will be nice and fat.

In addition, these tires are the lowest priced tire in their class. TireRack.com is the only place you can get them at this price. If you go to a dealer, you will pay 149.99 each for them.
If you have any further questions, you can direct yourself to the customer service department @ 561-555-DORK.
Thank you,
Tom

i'm an idiot I crack myself up sometimes. did you look at the tires??
The Kumho's are the sheezmo, really. I sold mine to a friend of mine and she put them on her F150 and she completely loves them. She says her truck feels like a race car now. And those are much bigger than yours at 275-60-17.
Plus, 83 Bucks???? For V rated tires??? Forgetabowdit.
