Mine came with P265/75R15s. They are large tires and look really sharp. :7

Did you put a lift on for 275? The guy at Allied tire told me that if I went larger than 235 I would change the transmission ratio and affect the ABS...I do not want to put on a lift, but would like bigger tires than 225 or 235.

If you go with larger tires you WILL affect the final drive ratio, NOT the tanny ratios. This will NOT affect the ABS but it will affect the speedometer, odometer and if you have an auto tranny it will affect how it shifts. This can be corrected by using a scan tool and going into customer preferences and changing the tire size/axle ratio value. If you have a friendly dealer I bet they would do it for free.
