That would be the 255.

Yes, the 75 has a taller sidewall than the 70. If the car has stiffer suspension it will give a feeling of sway the taller you get. Can you? Yes. Should you? No. Your speedometer will be off and your ride and handling will suffer. If you must change sizes go with a 265/65-16 or 245/75-16. My advice is to stick with the OEM size.
Stock tire sizes for the 1997 F150 were P235/70/R16, P255/70/R16, or 265/70/R17 ( I can't remember if the 17s were P-metric or LTs)

No, you cannot substitute P255/75 R17 tires with P255/75 R15 tires. The numbers indicate the tire's width, aspect ratio, and diameter; in this case, the first number (17 or 15) represents the rim diameter in inches. Since the rims are different sizes, a P255/75 R17 tire will not fit on a vehicle designed for P255/75 R15 tires.
What I have on mine is P255 50vR16... I'm also trying to figure out if these are right though. What I have on mine is P255 50vR16... I'm also trying to figure out if these are right though.

The stock tire size for a 1997 GMC Sierra 1500 typically comes with P235/75R15 tires. However, depending on the specific trim and options, some models may also have P255/70R16 tires. It's always best to check the vehicle's owner manual or the tire placard on the driver's side door for the exact specifications for your particular model.
Yes, you can replace a P255/70R16 tire with a P245/70R16 tire, but there are a few considerations. The P245 tire is slightly narrower than the P255, which may affect handling and traction. Additionally, ensure that the change in tire width does not interfere with your vehicle's suspension or wheel well clearance. It's best to consult your vehicle's owner manual or a tire professional for advice on compatibility and safety.
