I dropped off the wheels and then picked up the new tires for my truck last weekend. I've been busy changing the timing chain, oil pump, rear main seal, CV axles, brakes, and piles of other stuff, but I did throw one of the new wheels on last night and took a picture. I ended up going with the Grabber HTS with the 109T rating in the stock 235/75R15 size.
The wheels are factory cast aluminum that were an option on the '87-'90 Dakotas. The old wheels stuck out too far for my liking, had an unknown load rating and some had wallered out lug holes. The front left wheel was smashed up a PO hitting a curb or a pothole.
I'm hoping to get this truck finished up and back on the road soon - I have some long-ish trips in the future that would be excellent for getting some highway mileage readings. When that happens, I'll report for the sake of tying up this thread.
