wouldnt that be bigger? And then wouldnt that mean my speedo would read slower? Or am I really backwards on this.

theres no way a 4x4 would come with that small of tires, that size tire is standard on 2wd 98+

besides I thought all the 4x4 had 16 inch rims from the factory?

my truck is going to be used as a daily commuter that can haul building supplies. I actually like the stance and look of the truck as it is now, factory rims and all. The smaller/narrower tires look just fine to me!
