Just wondering if anyone could let me know of a good tire size for a stock 06 3500 SRW.My stock 265/70/17 look wimpy.What is a good size that will look good and won't require spacers in the front?

Any Tire That Is Smaller Or Equal To A 315 Will Fit Without Rubbing. Or Any Tire 35" Or Smaller Should Work Fine. No Leveling Is Needed Either. Your Next Step Is To Find A Tire You Like, And Everybody Has Their Opinion On What Tire Is The Best. I Like B F Goodrich Personally..

After a great deal of reading (this site especially) I finally decided on the Toyo Open country M/T in the new size of 285-75-R 17. Load Range E, 34" height but not ridiculously wide. Looks perfect on my 06. Balanced with very little weight, excellent road manners. Just my .02. I'm a little weary about the mileage after research; but time will tell. I paid $275 / each at tread depot, and Desert Rat here in town mounted / balanced them for $ 12/each.
