Here's a thread with different tire sizes.

I think a lot of the z71 guys on here have performance tires for daily and not mud tires.

If I were you I'd just get 4 Hankook Ventus h06's in a 275/60/17 and push 4hi. That's me personally. You shouldn't need slicks or anything. Just a tire that'll hook since you have a 4hi button.

The stock Firestones on mine hooked pretty good. Only got away from me once.

you wont have any problems ooking 4wd until you are over 500rwhp, then it's all about holding on and nailing things down.
