I run Toyo Open Countries 31 x 10.5 x 15 on the front and going to run them in the rear in the next month or so. (I know I have to run the same tire front and back but right now I have a blown front diff so it really doesn't matter :P)

Front grips better but they are REALLY noisy on asphalt. But coming from cars that I always compromised comfort for performance the tires are good and I can always drown out the noise with my radio.

I bought a set of Prodigy tires from Discount Tire to replace the old Pathfinder A/Ts. I wanted more of a street tire than all-terrain seeing the truck sees way more road than dirt. They're quite inexpensive and made by Yokohama. I got them right before the winter and they actually do quite well in the snow.

If I had an LSD out back I probably wouldn't had to of used the 4WD this year.

Luckily the R/T wheels look good, because I really don't like 90% of aftermarket wheels.

These are the only aftermarket wheels that I've ever really liked on a Durango.
Do you have any info on those wheels? I have never seen that style that fits the Durango.

Don't know about 15", why not just use 16"?

Because I have almost new tires in 15". Truck needed them really bad when I got it so I jumped the gun on buying them. Had I waited a little bit, I would have gotten a set of 16" wheels to go with it. Probably could have gotten tires and wheels for not much more than what I paid for mine had I shopped around

I just searched American racing nitro wheels and it looks like summit racing has the chrome ones in 15", so they're probably out there in aluminum finish. Not sure if it was the right bolt pattern though.
