Default Another tire question

The '98 4x4 Dak Sport is due for some new tries. Right now it has Kelley p10.50r75-15's. the door sticker shows air pressure for a p215r75-15.
My question is, what did these silly things come with as original equipment. I've found Goodyear Wranglers-p235r75-15'd for $65.00 per, plus mounting and balancing and ect.

I don't know what the original tires were. I also do not care much for Goodyear tires. But I put 235/75R15 Firestone Destination LE's on my Dakota. Mine is 2wd but it's been a great tire so far. There is a Destination All-Terrain tire in that size too. I paid $422.00 for tires, mounting, balanced and lifetime rotation/balalnce and road hazard/flat repair policy.

I have Uniroyal Liberator A/T on my 2WD truck and I love them. They cost me $110.00 each.

Can't be any worse than these POS Kelleys.
Dakota, know exactly where you are at. My Dad, may he rest in peace, had 2 lots in a bub development that he intended to build on when he retired. Never made it. I'm 15 mi from Lambeau Field.

Can't figure out how to delete a double post.

I just installed Michelin LTX in 235-75/15 and I couldn't be more pleased. Smooth riding, great traction in all the snow we have had lately. Even great on ice. They don't have the absolute handling of the Goodrich Traction TA's that I removed, but they are better in every other respect. Two tires took less than 1 1/2 ounces to balance, which is a sign that they are very well cast.
And because the Dak is black, I put the white outline letters out, and they look great!

I like my geolander ATs bit more money than i wanted to spend but it was that or some over priced tire i DID NOT want.

They do great in the NH snow and ice but at a tire warehouse (wish i got them at a townfair tire) they were like 135 a piece, I got raped and i didnt enjoy it
