Welcome, we all started with stock Suzuki's at one time or another,
don't worry, it won't take long before you don't have a stock one anymore

235 75-15s or 16" I think came on the Sport models
are a nice fit, really don't rub unless turned to full lock
and even then it's minor, good size, on my trucklet they
corrected the speedo to read 100% accurate, where before
it read 2-3 MPH faster than true ground speed, I liked the
Pep Boys AT tires, I think they were called Dakota back then,
but who knows now, I've been on 33" Swamper LTBs for years

I have those on my F-350 tow vehicle, they are OK, I'm not
a huge fan of Yokohama's  since I got a new set that lasted like 10K
miles even after an alignment on a VW Scirocco I had long ago.

The Pep Boys are Cooper Tires, good tires, good wear and good price
