29" tall tire help finding

I am looking at getting wider tires for my truck but would like to stay close to the OE tire height which is 29.

Besides mickey thompsons and tire rack, where would be places that i could find tires (preferably radials) that are bout 29 inches tall. The stock tire was a 235/75-15.

thanks everyone.

Are you looking for LT or P tires?

Doesnt really matter. As long as there wider. Im looking at 295/50-15 but with those there shorter and would look awkward leaving a big space in the wheel wells.

Go to procomptires.com. They have a conversion chart to find tire height for different size tires. You plug in width, aspect ratio and wheel diameter and it gives you the tire height

If you want just a little wider, 255/70R15 is a perfect match, and 265/70R15 and 275/60R15 are both very close. Go wider than that and you'll probably be off by at least an inch. If you were to get 16" or 17" wheels, you may have a closer match in that range.

i got 255/70-15 on the back right now but am looking for a lil wider and was considering upgrading to 275/60-15 but than decided if its goin to thro off the speedom i might as well go with the 295/50-15 wich is an inch wider and throws it off by 5 instead of 3 wich is easier to calculate.
