Default skinniest tire on a 14*6 wheel?

On my 95 Toyota Tacoma 2wd, it came stock with 14*6 wheels with 215/70 tires. I want to get ready for the snow so I need to know what is the skinnies tire I can put on these wheels.

Do you have any ideas?

I run 185/65 on 14x6 wheels for my snow tires and I've put as narrow as 165 on a 6" rim. On a truck in particular you need to watch the load rating of the tire. If the load rating is not up to the weight of the truck plus cargo, you could have a blowout or delamination at highway speed. A 195/75 would give about the same OD, but I don't know about load ratings in that size. Look for a snow tire made for trucks not cars for a higher rating.
