    lol I had problems at first too... but in reality, it takes just a second to look it up online (tire rack is pretty nice) to see what the over all diameter is and tread width is.

    I was toying with going to a 255x85x16 (smaller contact patch means less rolling resistance, but better traction in snow, and a hair more clearance) but I'm really leaning towards the Goodyear Duratrack and they don't seem to make that size... or I haven't found it (very limited searching)

    I want to get a taller tire and a little wider footprint. Not so worried about rolling resistance since I don't want to go too too wide, just wider than I have now.

    You want 285/75/16s. If a 1/4" is honestly going to mess with you then you better check manufacturer specs because they're all over the place in identically named sizes.

    I don't think 1/4 is going to matter.

    wait.... do you still have your stock wheels?
    You're going to want spacers or a wheel with a different offset if you want to go any wider. You'll likely start rubbing on suspension parts otherwise.

    I just dont see the point. I like it and I would probably drive it but that much money could go into a badass and much more functional suspension setup.
