That's a load of crap... I had P215/75R15 tires on mine as well as a 3.21
rear end. I upgraded to 31 inch tires, put a 3" lift on, and I dropped my
truck off today to get a 3.92 rear with a Trac Loc diff put in. No problems
with ABS at all. What it will do is throw off your speedo. 235s were an
option on some dakotas, so you should be able to recalibrate your speedo.
Let me know if you need more info.

I own a 1997 Dakota Sport 4x2 with P215/75R15 tires. I would like to a
P235/75R15 tire but was told by my Dodge dealer not to do it because it
would affect the computer in the vehicle and the ABS brakes and overall
performance of the truck. If anyone has upgraded their tires to a larger
size
and experienced any problems with the above let me know. Thank you.
