265/70/16 BFG All Terrains, small 31"
Me and my buddy. The DSG Ranger has 31x10.5x15 compared to mine which are 265/70/16. Mine seem a tad wider, but I think it's because his were brand new at the time and they were sitff. Mine have been to hell and back.
Here is another pic of his tires.
Both trucks no t-bar crank or anyhting.

However, I find most speedos to be calibrated for 5% or so slower than what you are actually going.
If your truck is calibrated for a 28" wheel and you put like a 35" on it (about as big as most people run on rangers with out SAS + lots of lift), you will be going 25% faster than your speedo's reading. Again, assuming your speedo was accurate from the factory. This means that if you want to go 50mph, your speedo should read 40ish mph.
Remember this when doing 0-60 tests. I have 31" tall tires, my speedo is calibrated for 28" tires, when my truck hits 55mph, I'm actually doing about 60. This takes almost a full second off of my 0-60 compared to actually calling it at 60mph.
If you dont know what size tire your speedo is calibrated to, look at the sticker on your driver's side door where it has axle and GVW information. It should have OEM tire size. I dont know if rangers have a mechanical or computer operated speedo. If its computer operated you can calibrate your speedo for any sized tire. If it's mechanical and you want an accurate speedo then you'd have to run a tire that came on the ranger from the factory and you can swap out the gears to calibrate the speedo.
