Larry,

According to Tire Guides, a publication that summarizes vehicle tire placards, a 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 came in a variety of modelss and with a variety of tire sizes and inflation pressures.  But perhaps I can narrow this down enough to be helpful.

a)  C2500 (2WD) Regular Cab, Long Box came with LT245/75R16, 45 psi front and rear

b)  C2500 (2WD)Extended Cab, Lomg Box HD - LT245/75R16, 65 psi front, 80 rear

c)  C2500 (2WD) Extended Cab, Short Box - LT245/75R16 45 psi front and rear

d)  C2500 (2WD) Regular Cab, long Box HD - LT245/76R16, 65 psy front, 80 psi rear

e)  K2500 (4X4)Extended Cab, Long Box HD - LT245/75R16, 65 psr front, 80 rear
