Default Any of you dakota guys need some BGS MT's?

*****Sorry I screwed up the title. They are BFG MT's*****



I have had these taking up space in the garage for over a year now and I could realy use the money for an upcoming trip So these have to go I guess.
1 of the 4 is brand new never mounted and the other 3 have 90% tread depth. Theguy at the shop measured the tread depth when he gave me the new one and he said they have 17/32in curently and came new with 19/32in tread depth. 2 of the 3 rims are in good condition and I think the third could still be used with a new balance. It has a dent in the wheel. Alos that same tire has two rows of scrapes on the lugs from when the truck was towed up a rocky hill. The gouges are probably 2/32-3/32in deep and will have no affect on the tire. The marks are pictured as well as I could get with my camera. I can get more pictures if requested also. The rims fit a 2003 dodge dakota QC.

I would like to get $650 as I paid $975 and only had them on the truck for 1500 miles.





Still a little wet in the pictures.

It's tempting since I'm so close but too big for what I need!

Realy you cant fit 31.5's on your dakota? I thought it was as simple as cranking down the torsion bars? My 03 fit them with no issues,no altercations, and no rubbing at all.

No they'll fit but it's really not my primary off-road rig and those are too big for 3.55 gears, I'm really **** about proper gearing.

Thats the same size tires I'm running with 3.55 gears and I've never had an issue... not even when I pulled a 5500 lb trailer over 60 miles. I actually really like where the rpms sit on the highway with this set up... it won't go over 2000 rpm until I get to ~75 mph.

I hate the big gap between 4th and 5th when I had 31s, 30s are perfect. I still get 20+MPG doing 70 at 2200RPMs.. Like I said I'm really **** about gears. Some people can drive with 35s on 3.27s and like it when I hate 235s with 3.27s.

Gotcha. I don't mind that gap, its the almost useless 1st gear that I hate when running smaller tires. But I can see there is another plus to using smaller tires... I've never gotten 20+ on the interstate, I usually get 18-19 running in the 70s.
