I'll be truck shopping in about a month for an ext'd cab 4x4 V6 or 22RE 92-95 5 spd P/U (would prefer the 22RE but as Ive mentioned before I'll probably end up with a V6 based on the numbers of them out there).

Anyways - unless the truck miraculously comes with the tires I want, which are the BFGoodriich A/T KO's, I will be buying a set of them most likely shortly after purchase. A little research on the net indicates that the rims for this truck are 15". First off, is this right? This one site says that stock tires for these years of truck are 31 x10.5-15 OR 225/75-15. 225/75's are 28.3" (is it really 28.3" stock tires for this truck? Why would there then be 31" tires mentioned as well? Could it be one for the 4 banger and the taller ones for the V6?).

Secondly, I want a set of these tires that are relatively tall (but still around 30-31") but narrow. Could anyone recommend a tire size? I want the narrowness for ease of turning, as well as handling in snowy conditions, as well as I understand narrower tires seem to or tend to be on the cheaper side.

Will C load class tires be sufficient as I understand they will be?

Here is the sizing guide for these tires from the BF Goodrich site...

Thanks for any clarification and recommendations
