Thanks

Your stock rims are 14" most truck tires are 15" and larger , Im not sure if anyone makes a 14''truck tire. Maybe some one else will know for sure on that. If they do make them I might try them to.

I'm going to follow this thread because this is what I have been thinking about doing. There are a couple of light truck tires made by general and maxis that are 27x8.5r14. From what I remember I believe the biggest tire size without having an issue are 28". Hope to hear someone's reviews.

I'd consider a set of DOT UTV tires. They are designed with a lower load rating and lower tire pressure. You'll get similar wear and better ride quality and traction.

There have been a few recent threads on this subject. Just search "285x75x15" or truck tires or lt tires and you will find a lot of info. I upgraded to 235/75/15 LT truck tires this spring and I am happy with them. To summarize: Super quiet on the roads, less traction in serious mud, about 1.5-2" taller than stock, have to run lower pressure due to stiffer sidewall (i'm at 9 psi).
