Ray, according to the Goodyear Express, the Dakota tire is a OEM version and
not up to the Goodyear's spec when purchasing from the store.
Depending on your taste or driving requirements (speed, cornering, towing,
and so forth), you can go larger or smaller and still save money.

"Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
It can only exist until voters discover they can vote themselves
largess (generous gifts) from the public treasury. From that moment
on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most
benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy
always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a
dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations
has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this
sequence: from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to
liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency;
from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from
dependence back again to bondage.
(By Alexander Tyler Frasier, over 200 years ago.)

Take a look at Discount Tire.... http://www.discounttiredirect.com/
In a 255/65 15 they have a Pirelli Scorpion Zero for $100.00 - free
shipping.
In a 275/60 15 they have three brands you might be interested in between
$71.00 and $106.00 - free shipping.
