I have a 1998 GMC Sierra 1500 that is in need of new tires. When I purchased it, it had 31/10.50/15 tires on it. The recommended tire size is p235/75/15. Which do I get?
The 31's are just a cunt hair larger I think...and a few bucks more a piece. But will it really make any noticeable difference? Will the slightly smaller / recommended tires have a longer lifespan? Ride more smoothly? I mean, how much smaller are they?
Both have about the same type of tread pattern I am looking for. It's just that they seem so damn close in size, but use different units of measurement so it makes it difficult to know exactly what the difference is. Anyone here know the difference in the measurements or have a suggestion as to which is preferable? I just don't want to plunk down $400 without feeling a little more sure of what I'm getting.
