Replace 245/70/17 to 255/70/17 Tires?

[KGTR312]

Would it be alright to replace them from stock (245/70/17) to 255/70/17 on 09 GMC Sierra 1500?

 

Edit: I don't want to damage my truck!

That would be perfectly OK. You can even go larger than that if you want.

Great thanks.

Any particular reason you are looking at the 255s?

I have 265's on mine and they fit perfectly

x2. Most 4x4s get 265 series tires.

I know 255's were a factory size on 2wd's when the gmt-800's had 16's. Had the factory size 255/70R16 on my truck. Changed out the 235s to the 255's now I run 275's. Just me but I prefer to run a size GM puts on. Wasn't factory and I retuned. Just me but that's how I like it but I'm 2wd and tow a lot.

255s will work fine... I'd rather have 265s though...

Had to get some tires asap! The store didn't have my stock tire so I had to go with 255, The reason I didn't go larger was because the clerk was trying to convince me that if I go larger that I could have serious problems with my truck. I had to pick tires up that day so I went and got some General Grablers AT2 255/70/17. Oh well, my old tires were in pretty bad condition, also I pull a trailer for work and need to be safe on the road.
