These are the tires that came on the truck and are worn out. I've been shopping for new ones. I currently have 275/60 17's on 17X9 Boyd Coddingtons and the steering feels heavy due to the wide tires, plus when I turn full lock they rub. I really want to stick with a 60 series tire but am considering dropping down to a 255/60 17. Here's a few pics with my 275's:

Anyone have any pics of 17" with 255's. Also I'd like to see pics of 50 series tires also.

Thanks Chuck, nice truck. The 50's sidewall doesn't look much thinner than the 60's. I like that. I'm trying to avoid the rubber band look.

They fit fine but I had to rim the rear fender lips. I had a 4/6 drop on that truck.
