Yeah I was thinking about this size also skinny so less backspacing issue tall so you get ground clearence.

So what are peoples thoughts on this tire?

It has been a year probably, but some members were running these....

One concern might be tire weight. Most of the tires in this size will carry a high load rating, which tends to increase weight.

Weights are on par with the other sizes for the kj. If you do a search there are members using this size. I think the weight for bfg's is like 49 and 245's are 47 and 255's are 49 or something to that affect, tirerack has the weights.

I have been thinking about the 235/85 also. There would probably be less rubbing on the sway bar or trouble turning. I have heard that they make a 32" x 10.5" tire for 15 inch wheels, and it's not a Load Range E tire, so they are alot lighter.
