Default What size tires should I go with?

I am looking at getting some Destination A/T's for my rear tires since there are Primewell's on there now. Just curious on what size I should get.

I can't do fronts yet because I need to do ball joints first.

235 will fit, right?


This is going on a 2000 XL single cab.


So what should I go with? 235/75/15? or bigger?


Recommendations please!!!

Also, if anybody reccomends a cheaper rear tire for my 2WD truck that's a bit cheaper than this but still performs well in the snow, i'm all ears.


Winterforce UV's any good? They have decent reviews.

Clinton uses the Firestone A/Ts for his winter tires I know, and my Pro Comp All Terrains would have been great if I had more tread depth, but they're $214 a pop straight from the dealer.

i run that same size tire in the winter, turns em over good even with 3.73s. if i was to buy winter tires again i would have bought firestone destination A/Ts, just all around good tire IMO. i have some kuhmo a/ts now just in the back and they do pretty damn good, they had good reviews and they were $100 a piece lol
