This is a link directly to the Dakota section...I'm sure they'll help you out. I'm there once in a while as TReMor ('99 Dakota R/T).

Up here in the OR-EE-GUN mountains we love the Cooper Discover All Weathers. I've got the P265's on my 5.9 Durango and Rob uses the same tire (but bigger) on his Suburban. I don't stud mine, Rob studs his. I've never had to chain up yet. I had them on my Ram Sport previously as well. They are EXCELLENT, very quiet and good handling in the dry.

My Tahoe has Cooper Discoverers on it and they are pretty damd nice and not expensive. I hear the Michelins are awesome. Goodyears suck the big green weenie, loud, low milage, no traction, junk. Had them on my last truck and they sucked. Hate the one on my Vette, hated the one on my last Vette, hated the one on my Firebird, hated the ones on my Tahoe.

Right on Ted. I had the GY's on the Dakota and then on the Ram. Total Crap. I'm sure that the premium ones are much better, but the OE's were awful.
BTW, the Durango has Edlebrock cat-back, Edlebrock cold air snorkle w/K&N, JetChip, lowered 2.5" with Edlebrock gas shocks. The "summer" tires are Toyo Proxis w/ 6 spoke American Torque Thrusts. Fun "truck".

Speaking of tires, I am thinking of putting some 20"ers on my 2001 Silverado 4x4. I have seen a few around the look pretty good. Chrome 5 spoke (six lug) with a bit more offset. We get snow so I will need M+Ss but at least the truck won't look so generic. Any comments???
Doug, those tires on the Vette are the premium EMT's like $350 each, and they are crap. I have talked to quite a few that say the Michelins or the Firestones are easily 10 times better.
