I think you tires are the same dia as the 215/75/15.
I replaced my 215/75/15 with 235/75/15 AT. Almost made it into a real
truck.
I had to replace the speedo gear in the tranny. $12.00 and 10 min.
The dealer looked it up on the computer, there was a chart that listed
all tire sizes/gear ratios/speedo gear teeth #.
Narrow tires have been proven to work better in snow.
The 215.75/15 would work ok. 235 is better in sand.
