Default 255-85-16 tires

Anyone have/had this size on their trucks? I have seen them on some other vehicles and they look good on some but look bad on others because they are pretty skinny. Can't really find a good pic of them on the second gen. I am not sure if this is even a good choice for this truck as they might be too skinny. I just thought I might like the little bit of extra ground clearance over a 265 or 285.


If anyone has any experience with this size tire and can give their thoughts on looks and handling please chime in.

That's basically a 33X10..... Good for going thru sloppy mud, and snow. Should work just fine for ya. Get a nice aggressive tread pattern.

If I were buying them, I'd go with 1 of 2 choices. BFGoodrich Ko2 or Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. They are both great tires and have superior performance, but still both are for a reasonable price. If you don't like road noise the Ko2 is the one to go with. Those are my 2 cents.
