There were a couple of options available. Some came with the smaller tires, and some came with 31"s. The suspension is all the same, but the trucks that came with 31"s should have lower ring & pinion gears.

With 15" rims and no lift you're pretty much limited to 31x10.5 or 32x11.50. You could probably squeeze 33x10.50 in there with a little trimming.
I had 31x10.50 on my Toyota years ago (before there were changed a bit and given the K/O designation). They were good tires and worked well during long, snowy Montana winters.
I have 32x11.50 on my Jeep right now. They probably have about 30,000 miles on them and still have a lot of tread left; probably about 1/2.
