anyone run a 235/85/16?

My duratracs are at the end of their life, so it comes time to replace them. Has anyone run this tire size, and what are your thoughts? rig is a daily driver on stock suspension.

Obviously looking for a tad better gas mileage than my current 265/75/16 set, but I love the traction in snow and on what little dirt I encounter.

Personally, I think 235 would be way too skinny. Why not 245/75/16, which is the same height as the stock 275/70/16?

Well, 235's are factory sizes on dually trucks I believe... you could get some fairly cheap. I have one as a doughnut spare when I run my 33's

hmm, good point. I may go to discount tire and look at them in person later.

or i may bite the bullet, and get a lift so I can get my 285/70/17 and a new set of wheels. That just means it will be time for a new second car so I wont get reamed on gas for commuting. Decisions decisions
