Stock size on the SS was a 255/50/20. My truck has 255/55/20 Bridgestones on it when I bought it they fit fine, but my speedo was off a little instead of changing the tune to change tire size, I pulled them off and replaced them with 275/45/20 rubber as a proper upsize.....

In fact, I think the 255/55s are still in storage in my garage as they had good tread left on them...:same exact tires as in your pic

The first time i saw them ,The price was $132 But thought they would hit the ball joint.

My speedo was off with sock 17's on cant remember the size tire but after putting 20's with 265 50's on . it is on now.
if I needed tires now I would make an offer ,and get them out of your way :smile: but my tire's still look like new.

275/45R20s will put your speedo off too, they're like .5" shorter than the stock 255/50R20s. That said, they look way more aggressive with the extra 20mm of tread width.

Fwiw: There is only an 8mm difference in tire height between them which is about as close at you can come upsizing tires so at 60mph actual my speedo will read 0.5 mph fast which is a helluva lot closer than the 2mph slow @60 then the 255/55/20s

Its close, Im just pointing out that its not exact. Most guys dont care (me included), but some people are super picky.
