My mom runs 235/75-R15's on here 95 pickup. I run 33's on my 93 pickup.
Tire size is a preference. Everyone will want something different. The factory tire size for most these trucks is a 235 for the simple fact that they are majorly under powered. Some came with the lower gears and 31's. You can run a 31" tire and be fine with the factory gearing. Although if you do increase tire size then your engine performance including fuel mileage will decrease. Proper gearing will make up the difference tho.

My truck had 235/75/15s for the past 10 years of once a year hunting duty and performed fine. I only got rid of them because they were over ten years old and were very traction resistant. I just got 30/9.50R15s and they also fit with zero issues.

Within a degree, if you go for oversized tires, your fuel economy will actually increase a bit, something referred to as a "rubber overdrive", but it comes at the cost of power.
