Default Smaller tire?

What might be the smallest profile tire that i can put on the spare 17" steel rim that came with my 08 yukon? What size can i run safely for the weight of my truck?

well you could probly go 40 series without the diff hitting the ground but i'm not sure why you'd wanna do that
maybe go to the 2wd tire size if you wanna go smaller and get 245/70r17
