I bought the 235/85/16. These are a bit bigger and require that you
get a change in the speedomoter. However, I love the wider tread and
the healthy looking tires. Also when they are low, they are very close
to hitting the boggies, and if that concerns you, then you might not
want the 235/85. I think one of the others does not require any change
to the speedomoter.

I bought 235/85R16. They work with sufficient clearance on the T
skirts, as long as your air is up.

I am running G159 LT225/75R16 Load Range E on Alcoas. You can't
go wrong with this choice.

With the 235's - You are going 55 when the spedo says 50.
