Karen,
When you go to the owner's manual, it suggests 4 different patterns as 
all being "typical" an states that it much depends on where you intend 
to use the truck and on what kinds of surfaces.  I settled for a 
standard road tire as that was the only thing available locally that 
you could use with an inner tube.  They won't take you thru deep mud, 
but as an everyday tire, it makes the ride pleasant on normal roads.

Looking closely at the illustrations in the manual, it shows some 
vehicles with the Avon traction style tread and others with a road 
tire.  So in terms of "looking original"  you don't have to limit 
yourself to bar grips or some of the other aggressive styles of tread
