I really like my Firestone SH30's, but I don't think they come in a stock
size. The ones I have are two inches shorter diameter than the OEM tires,
so it lowers the truck one inch (without messing up suspension geometry!).
I fixed the speedo problem by installing a bicycle computer (Sigma BC800).
Truck handles way better and has much more traction than previous tires used
(General XP, Michelins and stock Badyears). The truck also stops much
quicker.
