right now im currently running Goodyear GT Eagle II's (285/50/R20)
ill be going to some A/Ts soon though.
Yeah, Oliver is correct. The 285 refers to the width of the tire.
I'm running 305/50/20's with my keys cranked and haven't rubbed yet....but I haven't exactly been abusing the truck, either. The actual diameter of the tire will be determined by the other numbers on it, and without knowing your wheel diameter we can't tell you too much more. Check out this site for a good tire-size calculator:

Damn. I need to pay more attention before posting. I read the first page and thought that was it. I completely missed the other two pages.

Done-ish..
Just as a finish note..
Got mine back to today from my local shop.
Where I started:
Had a popping noise in the front left.
started off with what I thought was bad upper ball joint, replaced upper control arms because the rubber grease grommet had failed (thought that was it). While I had it apart replaced shocks with Bil's 5100's took it to the shop to have it aligned and tighten the bars to alleviate the small amount of rubbing from the new 285 Michelin AT 2's
Where I ended up:
instead I need lower control arms and an Idler arm FML...
Good news is I don't have to worry about upper control arms and shocks for a while!
However, It rides better than new and looks awesome. Not a dramatic difference just slightly beefier.
