235/85/16s are what is on most duallys as well as trailers you don't need to worry. you want to talk about small tires, the truck in my sig came with 225/70/16s stock lol. (the tires on it in the pic are bigger than stock)

Yeah, I just wanted to make sure they'd work well on my truck before I did anything. Don't want to get them and find out they won't work well. I just recently had to invest in a new tire because a belt one my front passenger side broke. So getting a set of brand new tires are going to be awesome. My truck is in my signature, for some reason, it doesn't show when I post on my cell phone.

I do have another question, would these do a little more wear and tear on the front end?

Not really. They isn't going to be that much of a weight difference.

Just to be on the safe side, these won't rub on anything, right? My trucks all stock.

Shouldn't. If they do, it will be easily avoided. They are fairly skinny, so, they shouldn't hit the control arms, which is the usual spot for rubbing.

The 235's may be a little taller than the 255's but the 235's are skinnier as well. They probably weigh about the same. What really hurts mileage and wear is the weight and width, not the height. They will fit and perform fine
