255/85-16 tires, who's using them?

[Niki]

I saw a slight drop in fuel economy when I went to 285/75-16's from the stock size, I like taller tires though. I'm thinking of using a 255/85-16, but the only tires I know that are available are Goodyear MTR's and BFG Mud terrains, which I don't want to use because the aggressive tread cuts down on fuel mileage some. Dunlop makes a tire, I think its called the RVXT, that's the only other tire I can find in that size. Anyone use it? Anyone using 17's or 18's? I'd like to use a tire that's approximately 33" tall but narrower than what a 285/75-16 is. Thanks

Visit tirerack.com and type in your size. They have lots of good info for most sizes. Very good reviews on the Dunlops. I know Joe Donnelly used to run Cooper Discoverers on his truck and liked them.

If you're looking for low rolling resistance and better mileage don't look any further than Michelin.

Mileage on my 93 wasn't any different with the 255 MT's than the 285 AT's
