LT 285/75 R16 Bridgestone Dueler Revo A/T on my 2002 1500 4WD. One size up from stock.Gave about 1/2 inch more clearance. No clearance or handling problems. Nice tires, but costly.

I really don't like the smaller 245's on my truck. I checked with the GM dealer and asked "If I go up a size to 265 can you reflash the computer with the new tire size so the speedo is true" and they said no, you have to go to a speedometer shop, so I will probably stay with 245's.

a small jump in outer diameter like that will not make a significant difference in speed
