2006 Chevy Truck with extra cab

I have a 2006 chevy 2wd extra cab short box truck with 265/70 tires on 17 inch wheels.

I want to replace all 4 tires only, with something taller and wider, perhaps Goodyear or Cooper tire brand.

My truck is stock, but it sits low. What can I put on it?

Tall & Wide Tire
by: Dean

Yes Chevy and GMC trucks sit low to these days! That's why most people, who want to put the big, wide, tall, and over sized tires on their 1/2 ton truck purchase Dodge Trucks. Even Dodge's regular cab 1/2 ton truck sit high enough to handle the 20" rims, and tires!

Anyway, back to your Chevy. The 265/70/17 BFGoodrich is a tall and wide tire, at 31.7" tall, and 10.7" wide! They do have a 285/70/TR17 that's 33" tall, and 11.2" wide, but your probably going to have to add a lift kit to your Chevy to use them! The problem is your front tires, they will rub the fender-well when you turn!

I gave you BFGoodrich 17" wheel numbers in order for you to add new tall, and wide tires, without having to purchase new wheels! To get the same measurements of the BFG 285/70/TR17 from a Goodyear tire you would have to purchase a 275/60SR/20, at 33" tall by 11" wide!

Goodluck!!!
