I’m wondering if someone can please tell me what springs are stock on a vu commodore ute?

G’day, What size tyres are people running on their vs utes? I currently have 235/45 R17 on mine, and am wondering if these might be causing my ute to be a little slidey on dirt roads (which is awesome when doing circlework at a BnS but not so much when trying to avoid trees on the way to a...
