Default tires?

So I go to the local walmart to get 2 snow tire for my 95 Silverado 2wd. I see these agressive looking Goodyears AT's. But they only have them in 31X10.5 15's. My truck calls for 235 75 15's. And they will not put them on my truck. So, how do I get around that?

You can buy the tires and take them somewhere else to put them on. I would not recommend Goodyear tire to anyone.

They are the worst offender for vibration. They take the most wheel weights. They also have the highest roadforce numbers and usually can not be match mounted. (Google Hunter GSP 9700 And Roadforce Analisis)
