02 QC 2wd Dakota - 255/65 R16 to 245/75 R16 and now to 265/70 R16????
New member here, so forgive me if this has been asked before...
So when I bought my truck it came with 255/65 R16 Badyear tires, I rapidly wore those out since the new V8 truck was fun to play with, lol
I replaced them with Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor Pro Grade tire in a 245/75 R16 size due to the amount of payload I was carrying in the bed while owning my own business...These tires have been great, at first I though that with the significant size upgrade I might have issues with the tires rubbing or the truck handling horribly, no way!!! I can't say enough good things about these tires.
Now I am looking into maybe even going just a bit bigger with a little more aggressive tread. I am looking at tires in the 265/70 R16 size and I was wondering if anyone out there had any experience with that size tire on a 2wd Dakota with no suspension or body lift?
Any suggestions?

you might have some trouble with rubbing. Since you are not able to crank the torsion bars and add blocks. a 265/70 is just a lil over 32 inches.
I would just go with the same tires you have now since they worked so great!
