My 96 Ford Ranger has P235 60 r/15 on them and I have gotten that size every time I have bought new tires. The selection is getting rather small as I know these are a sport/racing type tire. My truck had some sport package on it when I bought it new.
My question...could I put another size on the truck without changing the wheels?

For safety stick with came on the truck!
Also if you change the size you speedometer/odometer will be way off in what they read.
It ain't broke so don't you fix it. You drive a truck.....remember?
I would throw on some 31" tires the make them for 15" rims and it will give you extra ground clearance for off roading. the only thing is your speedo will be off a bit with the larger tires.
And also note that a large enough change in the outer diameter of the tire will result in your speedo showing the incorrect speed. A good tire guy will know this...and will likely try to find you a tire to avoid such a scenerio.

Use a tire size calculator: Tire Size Calculator | Will These Tires Fit? to determine what will fit. Just a heads-up though, a lot of these tire places have dopes working there that will refuse to change the size. They'll give you the song and dance about how it isn't safe, your speedometer will be off, yada, yada, yada. They're wrong.
Take a look at Tire Rack's website, they have calculators that will let you figure out what will fit.
Do stick with a truck-rated tire if you ever actually use it as a truck.
You can also look on Tire Rack's site to see what people have said about tires that will fit your truck. A P235 60 R 15 tire will have about the same diameter as P225 65-R15. For example.
For that matter try ordering through Tire Rack and have one of their approved installers do the install. You get a better grade of knucklehead that way, usually.
Those tires would be pretty old and worn out by now I think.
OP, go to Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels and see what fits your truck. Read reviews by other owners, get some prices, don't be afraid to call them with questions. They have the best prices and will ship the tires to a tire shop near by for installation. Look at the tire/shipping cost and add the shop installation costs - you can see these all online. Pick the shop with the lowest installation costs.
