 Subject: Max Tire Size??
IP: Logged
Message:
Hello-
I have a 2000 Dak Quad Cab 4x2. It came stock with 255 65 R15 tires, but they look whimpy and small. Does anyone know the max tire size I can go to in the 2-wheel drive without any rubbing, either when turning or at max. GVWR??
Someone at Sears told me 31x10.5 R15 but I don't really trust them. Plus I will be putting them on myself to save $$ and won't be able to cry to them if they rub, etc.
Thanks guys

I live in Charleston, SC. I would be happy to sell the tires instead of just chucking them, but they are prolly half or more through their lives.

The 31x10.5's are the largest trie they put on stock Dakotas of your year but that was for the 4x4's. I don't think you are going for that 4x4 look are you? I think you want the widest tires possible that are still about 29 inches tall. Lost of guys run a 28 inch tall, 275 series tire on the 17" rims. A 275/60/15 would be the same overall size as the Nittos everybody runs on the lowered R/Ts so they should easily clear a stock Sport. Lots of companies make that size as well so it should be easy to find. The BfGoodrich Radial T/A's in that size are only about $75 each. I'm sure you could fit wider tires, espically on the back but just nobody makes a 28-29" tall tire wider then 275, at least that I can find. Technically the 275 is wider then a 31x10.5 tire, it would be called a 28x11.0 if it were measured in the same way.
