    My truck came from the factory with P265/70 16’s. I am going to put an LT tire on the truck immediately, I am thinking of going with the LT 235/85R 16‘s.

    My question is, what are your thoughts of going with a 235 versus going with a 265 size tire?

    My career allows me to spend a ton of time off road in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. I’m no stranger to mud and back road traveling, but now I’m concerned about mileage and the Tacomas’ ability to travel in bad conditions off road.
