There where a few discussions a while back about tire size for the 1/2 ton AD. I was raving about my new Bridgestones but didnt have pics.

I went with the equivalent of the optional 6.50 - 16, a 10 ply, 215/85/16 radial. Definitely a 'truck' tire. I love them...

Inflatable to 80 psi, I run 40 for comfort and the sidewalls are still straight. Nice, tall sidewall, too. It bumped the speed a good 5 mph (30,25 inches in diameter - from 27,75)

A vintage looking tire that transformed the truck's look and handling:

I also took the trim rings off.
