I have been where you are and respect your thought process. You must consider ALL factors! What type, what size, how wide, ect. I think the looks of bigger tires out way the minimal loss in fuel economy. Unless of course you go way bigger, then you are making a choice between fuel economy and the benefit of bigger tires. A great size for our trucks w/out lift kits is 265/75/R17. You might have slight differences depending on rim size. Basically, you have to be real and consider where you do your driving. If you go off road a lot then consider that. I use my truck for work that is on a mountain so I bought a reddi lift kit and run 35" tires. But I recently discovered I need to chanted gears to restore HP/torque. I decided to go w/ 4.56 gears. Just consider the pros and cons and then buy what makes YOU happy. You are the driver, not anyone else. What have you upgraded on your truck or are you just starting out? If you need any more advice, just kit me up. I am sure someone on here can and will help you. Much luck and respect.....
