Do you mean 265/75/16, because I don't see 275/65/16 available in the all terrains?

Pics would be nice.

265 is a stock tire size for our truck isnt it? On tirerack.com I believe they have 245's and 265's for the tires that came on our trucks. I know my stock size is a 245 though.

Tiredepot.com is the one that allows you to select the following tire sizes when you select a Dodge Dakota:
245/70/16
265/70/16
What would the size difference be between those? I know my 245s measure 28 inches in diameter.

My stock size was 265/70/16, When I got my BFG A/T I put 275/70/16 since they were cheaper, no rub.

Depending what tire size your truck was ordered with, the larger stock sizes they came with are the 265/70-16's, or 265/65-17's depending on wheel size. Tire diameter on those is 30.6inches.
