Message:
I have a 98 2wd Dakota with the factory 2wd rims(15x7) that run a 235/70/15 tire. I have purchased a set of the OEM wheels(15x8). What tire size I should run on this rim?

On an 8 inch wide wheel,
most tire manufacturers would recommend '235' to '275' wide tires.

Choosing a tire size depends on your specific needs:

-lowered chassis height / better handling
-heavy duty towing/loaded bed
-keeping the speedo calibrated nearest to stock

and etc.

Thanks. I ordered a set of Michelin LTX M/S in the 235/70/15 so I don't have to reset the speedo.

Good plan. Lots of 4x Daks came with 31x10.5R15 on those rims, about an inch taller.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Then 31x10.5R15 won't fit on your rims Todd...
