Hi All,
I've been searching through these forums and the wheel tech guide and I think I'm missing something. I'm trying to purchase replacements for my 99 4x4 (stock suspension), and noticed my existing tires, (235/75/16), aren't the recommended ones on certain sites. They seem to suggest I should take 245/75/16. Okay..cool...cool. But when I search the forums and tech articles, I'm seeing things like 245 x 10.5 x 16 or something. I'm basically trying to understand what the terminology here is.
If anyone can break down the lingo for a dummy, I'd very much appreciate it! And for what it's worth or all about, I'm attempting to go as large as possible on a stock 4x4 XLT. I have the 99 16" rims and am also wondering (hoping), any tires I purchase would also work on later model 16s if I could score some at a junk yard.
TIA!
