I wanted this size so, so, so, so badly.
The time came to get new tires (just last month), and I just couldn’t justify getting a MT. Ended up going with 285/75/16, sadly. They’re okay...

I mounted mine on stock 99 rims. I have a 2” body lift also. I’m also running 1.5” wheel spacers, but that is to partially counter body roll from the lift.

Did you do the lift first, get tires first, or do them at the same time?

255/85r16 DC extreme country’s.
~3” lift all around, maybe more like 3.75” in back. All in the suspension, no body lift. Did some firewall smacks for the front wheel wells, but nothing crazy. Had spacers initially to clear the stock upper control arms. Eventually put SPC uppers on and removed the spacers.
Rubs frame lightly at full lock and if wheels are turned and compressed 75% or more they rub the firewall.
Awesome clearance and road manners, I love this tire size and combo, been running it for 4 or 5 years.
As the fronts wear out I replace with new.

Does anyone make a 255/85/16 AT in load C or D? Everything I find is in a load E.

Nope, not that I'm aware of at least. It's a huge gap in the market. I want a C or D 255/86/16 AT tire, like a K02, SO badly that I've written BFG in the past, begging and linking 20+ offroad forum threads. LOL
The reason they're all load range E is because they're common tires for Dually trucks.

I'm right there with you, would love KO2 in a 255. Cant even get a KO2 in load C or D in a 285/75/16. I'm currently running the KM2 in the 255/85/16 and love the size, but I dont need muds and want to switch to AT tire.

IMO 255/85R16 is the best size! I'm running the Toyo M/T 255/85R16 (which is a 33.5 inch tire) on the factory wheels. I have a 3.25 inch lift up front and almost 5 inches in the rear. The tires clear fine but the fronts do rub when flexed and turned on the trail. Which is why I would say 2 inch lift is not enough. A 2 inch lift + a 1.5 inch body lift would likely solve your issue, but best to just get a 3 inch lift imo.
Here's my lift thread that shows how the toyos look: Tundra/LC Lift + First Time Off Roading

Yea, load range D is all there is. I wonder if treadwright would make a run of 255’s from our used ones. At least the sidewalks would be broken in and softer. Still would be heavy though.

For those of us who wish BFG would make an All Terrain Ko2 in the 255/85/16 size, please write them an email:
Sites-bfgoodrich-us-Site
The marketing team is the catch-all for this, which could be a dead end. However, I recieved acknowledgement on my email, and the person stated that it was a logical ask, and he would be getting it over to R&D for me. I linked about 30 threads from various offroad forums.
Let's make some noise! Lets overwhelm them-- it could move the needle

I ran the factory 5 spoke with 255's and a 2.5" lift with no issues.
