Default Tire size question

What sizes are close to the stock 255/65/16?? I've been looking at tires and several of the places don't carry much in that size? Is there a few that are close and that won't effect the speedo reading much or at all?

Thanks

anything around a 29-29.5 inch circumference should keep the speedo close

That size came stock on a lot of vehicles, you should be able to find lots of models in that size. I myself would go with 255/70-60's instead.

That's what I thought, but a few places only have one or two options when I search for the 255/65/16....and nothing worth a hoot. There's some decent black friday sales on tires every year.

As mentioned above the 245/75R16 seems to be a good size with many options to choose from among all the top brands.
