As addition... this is about Walt. Not about you. Go back to watching tentacle **** or whatever you dumb****s do and leave the advice giving to the actual pros. There's a reason my shop that I own is very successful.

Again... you continue to believe your opinion is welcome on this forum. Each letter you type you're just digging yourself into a hole which I'm sure more than 99% of us would love to see you suffer in.

There's no way you have an actual shop that has any success to it. If you were a pro with a shop as successful as you say, you wouldn't have made a post because your pea brain can't figure out a simple problem on your truck, the low heat issue you posted a while back.

These would be my questions with the replacement wheel and tire size.
1. Are the wheels identical to to the 15 in wheels that are now on your truck? (other then being 16in.) By identical, I mean same width, offset, etc.
I know my factory wheels are 15x6 with about a 4.5 in. offset. These came with 235x75x15 tires.
2. Back to your replacement wheels, if the width is different then the factory wheel, you need to consider this as well in tire size selection.
I assume what you are asking is, what 16in tire would be the same size as my existing 15 in tire. As in height and width. This information is available from sites such as tirerack
Again, if this is the case, IMO you need to start with the replacement wheels and determine if the width is the same and if the offset is the same.
Assuming it is, look at a web site that shows physical dimensions of each tire size. Such as ragged 89 suggested tirerack.com.
From there you can pick a tire of similar height and width to your existing 15in. tires, but in a 16in height.
The last thing you need to verify after this, is the replacement tire I have choose compatible with my rim width.
Then as Toby said, after you determine wheel size, tire height and width, you can move on to picking tire design, ie All season, summer, performance, winter, mud, etc. And then of course whatever brand you like best.

Hi
I live in northwest Missouri. I like the rim I post with this thread. I don't like the factory rims that is on my Dakota. I don't drive the truck in snow unless I have to. If I can run that 225/75/16 on a set of the rims I would. I am trying to find the other 2 15 inch rims. I am glad you guys are helping me out on this. My dad gave me the truck right before he passed away. I really like the Dakota.
Thanks

Two things wrong with this post:
1: 235/75/15 was an optional tire size for 4wd, not mandatory. Yes, it was what 99% probably had, but not mandatory.
2. Pretty poor advice spouting out a tire for someone when he doesn't even say where he lives. Sure, the falkens are probably good tires, but, id never buy those falkens because they'd be useless to me for part of the year.

If you was a pro you wouldn't spout off a tire without even knowing where the guy lives. And on top of that he didn't ask for what kind of tire, he asked for a size of tire. You're just giving useless information.
There's no way you have an actual shop that has any success to it. If you were a pro with a shop as successful as you say, you wouldn't have made a post because your pea brain can't figure out a simple problem on your truck, the low heat issue you posted a while back.

Easy there fellas. You got a problem with each other, take it to PM's.

OK here is what I found on tirerack. Keep in mind brands vary a little on these measurements.
1. orig. tire 235x75x15 needs 6-8in rim. 28.9 in. tall and has a tread width of 7.4in.
2. 225x75r16 needs 6-7in. rim, is 29.2 in tall and has a tread of 6.7
3. 215X65X16 need a 6-7.5 rim. is 27in. tall, and has a tread of 6.7
I believe your closest match would be
235x70x16 this needs a 6-8in rim, 29in. tall and 7.4 tread width.
But again, check the width of the rims to make sure they will be compatible with your tire selection.
