Hi Korey,
I just asked this same question last week, got a host of answers. Might want
to check the archives.
Switching to 235's will probably be OK, that is a little more than 3/4"
narrower than the 255's. The manufacturers web sites will tell you what rim
widths work with what tires.
Pirelli makes the Scorpio light truck radial in our size, you can get them
delivered for about $100 each. The Eagle LS is a performance CAR tire, not a
light truck tire at all.
Let me know what you end up getting.... I'm trying to nurse mine through
another winter. 42k on them.
Terry.
