Default 235/85 or 265/75?

i like the dunlop mud rovers, but what size? 235 85 or 265 75? the overall diameter is practically identical, and the 265s area tad over an inch wider. the 235s have a higher load rating, higher max pressure, and they are 7 dollars cheaper per. I guess one can see that i'm leaning toward the 235s. I'm thinkin that the slightly narrower tiresmay perform more aggressively, and, more importantly, lookmean too.anyone?

Well, Im sure it may perform better, def in snow. But I dont think its going to look better. 265 about matches the fender line. the stock 245 on the ST models look silly because there inward due to lack of width. I think its gonna look the most bad @$$ the wider you go.

I saw a late 90s 3/4 ton ram today w/255 85s kind of skinny for a ram, but it had the old skool mud truck look, a bit less "look at me."A little more function. I've also heard narrower tires can improve mileage. Not that mileagewill get better w/ mud tires.A narrower tire would probably wear out faster, though.
