    I was told a low pro is 22.5
    A tall tire is 24.5
    The brand I have on truck is xdn2 275/80 22.5 (11r 22.5)
    The tire guy say the Bridgestone would do just fine because I told him what my tire says

    275-285-295 22.5's are considered low profile at about 513 rev per mile. 11 series are high profile at about 494 rev per mile.
    You may have one on the front and the other on the rear but not both sizes on the same tire. I have never driven a truck that would gross 60,000 and get 8 MPG. If someone is topping that why would you want to change anything?
