Does anyone know of an info source or database that will tell me what size tires are able to fit on my ’97 GMC Z-71 ½ ton pickup? I currently have 265/75-16’s on it now but was thinking of upgrading to 285/75-16’s soon because mine are almost worn out. According to the online tire size calculator we’re only talking about a 1-1/2 inch difference in diameter but sometimes in real life it makes a difference.

When you change tire sizes on one of these you need to have the computor programed for it. smile


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

With 285s you will have to tighten the torsion bars to lift the front a little. Otherwise, they will rub.


Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into your brain...that is where crappy ideas come from.
