I'm from Canada so I'm dealing with the ****ty weather occasionally, we had our first major snow fall yesterday and I was sliding all over the place and I wasn't giving it any gas at all. It has P215/70R15's on it now and looking for a bigger tire (if I can get one).

Any recommendations? I would like to keep the stock 15" rims for now.

Thanks
Snow yesterday - you must live near me! NB My tires are as bald as **** too - been putting off swapping them as they will be tossed when they come off.
Did you try kijiji? I got a set of 265/70/16 on wheels for $350.00 - Less than a 1000km on them.

Hey haha, I'm from Ottawa.

I have been checking kijiji yes but I can't find a tire I like it, I want to go with 31's cause I absolutely hate the look of the 235/70R15 on it now, look too small.

I'm interested in those toyo's but I am trying to find a good deal, then again the General Grabber's look nice and are a pretty good price at only 180 a tire.

Thanks for the advice!

Yah - One of the downsides of owning a truck - tires are freakin expensive! The Wranglers looked aggresive...

Yes!!! Hahaha, but yes... Truck tires are freaking expensive but if it makes the truck look like a beast, they're worth it.

I think it was jim who I talked to at dtd. He also said tire rack shows such the low price because they kill you on shipping(100+). So for the price I got a awesome deal. I might not be able to win the lotto but most of everything I buy I get a good deal on. Today bought another 46in sony google tv got it for 699.99 orignal price 999.99. Im just gonna resale it since we already have one haha

Yeah I bought mine from some random website called like tires-easy.com, they had a better price than tire rack, and for some reason tire rack said they didn't even make grabber at2's in the size I wanted anymore. Sure enough, I was able to order the size I wanted from this other random website.

And yeah, people who go wait in line all night are dumb. You can find great deals online any time of year, and there's especially good deals online around black friday. That was a good find on that tv! Great way to make a quick buck.

Hey guys,

I know almost all of you recommended the 31x10.5x15 size tires, but isn't 10.5 a little wide for the stock dakota rims? Arn't stock Dakota rims only 6 inches or so?

Thanks
