no i prob have done a search but... would changing the tire size affect the ride/milage/sound quality. these trucks use 275 which r pretty thick for the size truck.

would going to a 265 make a difference.  offcoarse the percentage would change as to make sure that the whole tire diamater doesnt change just the thickness of the tire

Why is it that the politicians in D.C. are the only ones that don’t know there are better things to make Ethanol out of than corn?…  Answer… They know! They know! Guess why they don’t correct the problem.

the first number is how thick it is in meteric. not sure if its cm or mm or something liek that.  the 2nd number is the thick ness of the tire wall compared to the width of the tire. so 265/70r15 is 70% of 265= the height of the tire wall.
