Default I guess I am going to have to go to 235s on my truck

I guess I am going to have to go to 235/75/15s on my truck. It came from the factory with 265/75/15s. Has anyone done this before? Did it change the drive ability any? How did the truck handle after making the switch? I do not really want to do this but I can not find 16 inch rims or the tires used anymore and I can not afford new.

What gears do you have? 235s are definitely more common.

I did not know I may have found some 265s with 50% tread for $60 bucks depends on how they look. I wanted to put in a 2 inch lift and maybe some 33's. Not like I have money for either lol.

Not in this state my friend. About the same as a 265/15 for people who have them. Wish I lived someplace else just for truck parts lol.
