hi everyone, well I just bought some rims and was getting ready to buy tiers for them but dont know what size I need. Everyone one I talkl to says somthing different

My rims are 24"x9" and there for a 2001 yukon

I have been told:

255/30
and
305/35

What size of tires would you use , it doent matter if its not one of the ones listed. I rather have the right fit then the wrong one

either, the 305s will have more sidewall, while the 255's will be thin, like a small bicycle tire...me personally, would do the 305's and have some sidewall so it doesn't ride too harsh, yet feels the wheelwell up.

If you want your speedometer to remain accurate, you need a tire that will maintain the same overall rolling diameter as your stock wheel/tire combo.

Call The tire rack, or Discount tire direct. They can tell you which tires will allow you to do that.
