Default Tires?

I'm sure this is the most "ohhh really, c'mon , use the search" threads.

But I'm gonna do it anyway. I have looked at the tire fitment thead, and I
still need advice. Everything there is in 33" 36" ect. What do these equate to in the 275 285 295 series? I want to keep my stock wheels, I like them, so what size can I go up to using a 2" leveling kit? So far I really like the cooper discoverer sst. Also who has them and how are they in the snow?

ok, but how do you guys like the coopers? Looking for opinions from you guys on them. And how big can you go on the stock rims?

I went with 295/70/18 Trail Grapps, 2.5" HBS, no rubbing, fills the wheel well nice. I went with that size for 2 reasons: 1 better deal than a 35/12.5/18, and 2 I didn't want to push it to the max size, 35/12.5/18 for fear of rubbing or maybe a little to wide for stock wheels. I know some have them and have no problems, but I wanted to play it a little safe. What's an extra 1/2 inch anyway?
