Can you? Of course you can, but the real question is what would be the results. First off your speedometer will read 62.3 at a true 60 mph. Your engine will turn 28.4 RPMs more per mile which will cause you to use slightly more fuel. Your ride, & handling, will be adversely affected. Anytime you change from the original equipment manufacturer size tire to a different size there are consequences. The engineers spent many hours choosing the exact size tire or your vehicle that gives it the best handling ride and fuel economy possible. My advice is to stick with the OEM size car.

No, this is not a good swap as the 215/70-15 is over 3% too small in overall diameter. If you wish to go with 15" wheels then install 235/70-15 tires which will be only 0.36% different than the OEM size.

Will 235-70-16 tire fit on a 1991 Dodge Dakota?
It depends on the rim backspacing they are mounted on. I have 235/75r15 on my 93 with stock rims and they rub only when at full steering lock. The 235/70r16 are 29" tall and my 235/75r15 are 28.9 only .1" different. If the rims you are using have the same width and backspacing as stock, the tires will rub but only at full steering lock. If the rims are wider you will definitely need less backspacing to move the tire way from the frame. The speedo will not be accurate, it will be off by 3 mph showing at 65mph when your actually doing 68.
