I've got alloys now but this is more hypothesizing than anything. I would love to change to LRR's but it seems they only come in 15's or 13's. My truck rides on 14's now and has quite a bit of tire wear left, but they won't last forever.

Just trying to explore some options for when that day comes and to see what the general concensus of the local "knowledge base" is.

Is there a tire "calculator" here somewhere that can compare tire dimesions? When these tires do wear out I may have to switch to 15's but I would want something similar in diameter to what I have now to keep the speedo and odometer as close as possible.
225/70R/14's must be comparable to something in the 15's.

This leads me to another thought but I'll post it in a different thread.
