The standard tire size for the 2000 Chevy Silverado is P245/75R16. This might sound complicated, but it's actually easy to understand once you know the breakdown. The first number, 245, refers to the tire's tread width in millimeters. The second number, 75, indicates the tire's sidewall height in millimeters. The final number, 16, represents the wheel diameter in inches. This means your truck has 16-inch wheels as standard. It's recommended to maintain your tire pressure at 35 psi. Proper tire inflation is crucial for ensuring safe braking distances and even tire wear, reducing the frequency of replacements.
