yeah, 235/75R15 will work... that's the stock tire size on the 4x2 Durango's
with the same rim.

Hey all-

I'm about ready to replace my Goodyear 255/65/15's on my 15x8 rims (2000 2WD Club Cab). As we all know, there are very few tire choices in that size.

I'm looking at Michelin LTX A/T's and BFG A/T KO's at the moment, because I'm looking for better winter traction. However, they don't come in 255/65's. Will 235/75's work, or are my rims too wide? I've seen that Bridgestone Dueler A/T's come in 255/70, so I'm considering those as an option as well.

Anybody have a suggestion for an alternate size to shop for? I've run all the calculations, but I don't know how much of a problem an extra inch of diameter would be, or what widths are acceptable?

Thanks in advance, Korey Atterberry
