255/70r15 is same height as 235/75r15. 30X9.5r15 is taller but narrower
than the 255 by just a hair either way. 30's weigh more than 255's due
to their 6-ply construction and tread, so to reduce unsprung weight
for better acceleration, use 255's. Plus they handle better due to
construction. I've had both sizes on my truck.
