Not all 00's have these tires as standard. Depends on the overall
packaging. There's tire and handling pkg. 5.9 engine pkg. SLT plus pkg.
Those upgrade parts of it. I believe pure stock is a 15 X 7 rim with
235/?R15 tires.

Original tire and handling on the 00's should be 255/65/15 Goodyear Eagle
LS.

Mine came shipped with 42PSI, which is 3 under the 45PSI max on the side
wall.

The door plate does say 35.

At 42, the center of the tires were chipping and tearing the finer tread
REALLY bad. Brought them down to 36 and am really much happier. Harder to
squawk the tires and the cornering is much improved.

Basically the door plate is always supposed to be right for normal
conditions. More weight = more air.
