I have an 04 Dakota QC 4X4 with the origional Goodyear RTS tires on it. I need some new rubber before the winter. I am looking at the Firestone Destination A/T's. Are they a good tire, they seem to get good reviews? My question is my Dakota came with 265/70/16, can I put any bigger of a tire on and safely get it to look better?? I dont want rubbing or scraping when I turn.

What stat is the width of the tire and what stat is the height from rim out?? Can I go a size up or should I remain at the stock size?? Thanks

265 is the width of the tire. 70 is the height.

I am running Yokohama Geolanders. They are good for what I do with my truck.

 

I haven't tryed the a/t's but had the m/t's on my jeep and loved them. my sister now has the jeep and it is in need of new tires seeing as how i abused those m/t's lol and my dad wants something less agressive for it and i told him to get those on. i haven't been home from school for 2 weeks now and it needed them by the end of the month so if he got them ill take it for a spin tonight when im home and see how they feel then let you know but i would def go with them.

 

if you want to go with bridgestone get the duelers. they have an aggressive look and i heard that they handle pretty well in snow and rain. i would go with the 265/75/16 its one size up and its a 32x10.5 size tire. it will fill up the wheel wells and you should have no issues when turning.

 

A buddy of mine has the Firestone Destination A/T's and is very happy with them. He runs them on his truck here in Colorado and has no issues with the snow/rain. I don't know enough about metric tire sizes but where ever you get them should be able to let you know. Just tell them you want to go bigger but no rubs. I would bet you could definitely go up plus one like dapirate says.

Here's some gee whiz infoif you are looking to save a little money. I run Futura Dakota A/T (Now called Definity Dakota) from Pep Boys. I have no idea if you have aPep Boys nearby but I am extremely happy with these. They are made by Cooper and I picked them up a few years ago for about $80-90 bucks a tire (265/70R16's). They have a tread pattern similar to the BFG AT KO's for a whole lot less. I ran them for a couple of winters now and off road some moderate trails here in Colorado with them. They have worn really well and handled great in rain/snow and on the trails. Whenever these run down, I think I will give there M/T's a shot. They look pretty cool and if they do nearly as good for me as these, I'll be happy. Just a thought.

 

first off im sorry, those tires are terrible

what you need to do is go toyour local firestone dealer and ask for mastercraft courser m/t. i hadnt her much about them but what i did hear was good. so i went and got a set of them and love them!!!!! .very nice looking tire. rides very well with low street moan. really look into them. there bout half the cost too.

check my profile i think i have a pic in there of my tires

 

Ok, so I am not decided yet on new tires. If I go to a 265/75/16 will that throw off my computers at all (ABS,Gas,Speedo)?? I am looking at tires such as the Firestone Destination AT and the Toyo Open Country AT aswell as the Bridgestone Dueller AT and the BF Goodrich AT K/O. I want a semi-aggressive look like these, but I do 98% of my driving on roads. I do drive 4-5 months in rain/sleet and lots of snow!!! Any suggestions on good rubber would be appreciated!!! What is the best "all-around" tire for my applications??

 

www.nokian.com, the extremos is what i had on my dak and now on my trailblazer, they are a bit hard to find but great all around tire, quiet on road ect..not great in deep mud, but if ur going in mud get a mud tire.
