tire Questions

[elk_hunter]

I have a 99 GMC Sierra EXt Cab truck. 2WD

 

The tires on it now are 245/75/16. The spare is 235/5/16.

 

I'm looking to get new tires for it, It's not lifted or every will be, and seldom tooken off the streets.

 

Should I get 245/75/16 again for them again? Or go wth something a little bigger...I see the 265/75/16 are the same price. that would give it a bigger stance but is that working it, would it help any with towing that I due? And if I go bigger then the 245 up to 265 would I need to have the speedo changed?

 

 

thanks for any advice!!!

if you go with 255/70/16 it is almost same size as original 235/75/16 and speedo will still be accuate.
