I just noticed my spare tire's tread is different than the other four. Still a Bridgestone, but a different model. It's size states 245/75R16 but elsewhere on the tire, it has the numbers 265 in large numerals. It also looks wider than a 245 tire. It has 5 major tread patterns whereas the other four tires only have 4 major tread patterns.

Your truck has RPO code QIW, on/off road tires. They give you a highway tread spare, unless you get RPO 4GK for $11 to get a matching on/off road spare.

The 265 You see is the Bridgestone V-Steel 265 Highway rib tire, size 245/75/16.

I appreciate the info Ty. That's why I like this board. Someone always has an answer for nearly any question we may have about our trucks.
