I'd go with 265/75-16's. THey will fit easily using the OEM wheels.

I'd recommend a quality all terrian tire like the BFG AT KO, Nitto Terra Grappler, Toyo AT, **** Cepek Radial FC II, Pro Comp Xtreme AT or Mickey THompson ATZ.

I like my Firestone Destination A/Ts. Maybe not the most aggressive but they get the job done.

From experience, you can easily get 60,000 miles out of the BFG AT KO's.
