If you did not buy your truck new and want to find out which tire size was installed from the factory, look at the spare because I would care to guess that it is original. Here is a tire calculator to play with different sizes http://www.gordon-glasgow.org/tirecalc.html . I have heard the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor tires you posted a link to are very good.

The sticker inside the door read
235/17 for the tire and
17 X 7 for rim i believe.
Im looking for any tires that would fit on my rims right now but would fill in the large gap between the tire and the body plus tires that a wider then the ones I have one now, Id love to but cant afford FX4 rims at the moment.
I figured but I might be wrong that 255/65 17 is the biggest I can go. Is this correct? Again, thanks for the help.

The 255/65/17 is actually shorter (smaller diameter) than the 235/75/17. These specs. came from http://www.gordon-glasgow.org/tirecalc.html
255/65/17
Diameter: 30.05"
Width: 10.04"
Rev/Mile: 671
_____________________
235/75/17
Diameter: 30.88"
Width: 9.25"
Rev/Mile: 653
_____________________
265/70/17
Diameter: 31.61"
Width: 10.43"
Rev/Mile: 638
_____________________
275/70/17
Diameter: 32.16"
Width: 10.83"
Rev/Mile: 627
_____________________
Going (up in height) to a 265/70/17 is actually less of a change in height than going (down in height) to a 255/65/17 (+ .73" for the 265, - .83" for the 255).
The 265/70/17 will only change your speedometer reading by about 1 1/2 mph @ 70mph. BTW if you go with a tire that you feel will warrant a recalibration of your speedo, your dealer can do it for you. I was quoted a price of $40 when I asked.

lastoh, those look great, did you have to recalibrate your speedo? is your truck a 4x4? (i know its on your sig but i remember someone with a black truck on here buying a 4x4 sticker)
Is it possible for me to use any of these tire sizes you mentioned:
255/65/17
235/75/17
265/70/17
275/70/17 with my current 235/70/17(stock I now believe) tires? Will they fit on my rim? Also my truck is a 4x2. When I plug my numbers in an online calculator on what I can put on my rim its either: P255/70R-17 or P255/65R17. The first size makes sense but this second one quoted is my "optimal" size but its height is shorter
The tire store recommended these:
Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S:
http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findTireDetail.do?rc=TXKINT&yr=2004&cf=false&c=1&s w=false&pc=43811&tc=YOKRA4&rf=true&rcz=76540&cs=25 5&dVeh=dVeh&rd=17&vid=008443&ar=70
FS, so any change in the tire side warrants a recalibration? Im glad to see that its not expensive
