& Hello, can I put a P225 or P235 tire on my stock
& steel dakota rims ? I currently have the stock P215
& tires and want a bit more bite!

Yes. The 4x4 Dakotas come with the same 15"x6" wide rims and 235/75-15
tires stock. The wider tire on the 6" rim should give better dry
traction, be better in mud, worse wet traction (skinny tires are better
in rain), and mushier handling (wider rims would help, but the 235/75
also has taller sidewalls).
