Greg,
I am running 245/70's on my stock 15" rims. If I lock the steering, they
rub the frame slightly about the last 10% of the turning radius. Even
though, I'm considering going to a 255/70 next time. What I might do is get
the tire shop to mount one and check it on the DAK while in the shop. This
is on a '96 CC 2WD. Hope this helps.

Hey,
        looking for some to tires for my Dakota, got the stock 15X7 wheels,

Im thinking something like a 245/50R15? I am running 235/75R15 and the
sidewall is like 6.5-7 inches tall, kills my handling, you think 245 fit?
maybe 255 or 265? any advice...
                        Thanks, Greg
