To find the correct size, you should:
* Check the sticker on the driver's side doorjamb: This sticker lists the recommended tire size and inflation pressure. This is the most reliable source.
* Look at the sidewall of your existing tires (if you still have the originals): The size is printed directly on the tire sidewall.
* Consult your owner's manual: The owner's manual should specify the OEM tire sizes for your specific Silverado configuration.
Without knowing the specific configuration of your 2001 Silverado, I cannot provide the correct tire size.
