It pretty much puts the speedo bang on. Blackwolf on here tried and tested the size before most of us, and advised me so I followed suit about three years ago and I'm running 255/85 KM2 at the moment.
I had 235's before, I like the 255's a lot. Thumbs Up

Definitely go for it. Thumbs Up Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️

I’ve had 235,265/75 and now 255/85/16 - I would definitely go for the 255’s. They look better than the 265’s on a 110 as they are taller and fill the arches better. Plus they lift your gearing slightly. The 265’s look nice as they are 10mm wider, but they look small in comparison to the 255’s

I fully agree with you on the 255/85s for all the reasons you mentioned, however, I need to keep the tire height to 32” due to garage door restraints. I know, I know, convincing the wife to sign off on this project was hard enough. Building a new house with a taller garage would be a whole level of “I owe her”. Haha.

What wheels were you running with the 265/75s?

Thanks, I dug through that thread, but tough to find an image comparison between these two sizes.

Love your rig by the way. The Anthracite wheels look amazing!

I am also using this as a reference:

Thank you Grouse, that was the info I was looking for. Looks like 235/85s for Drago’s first new set of tires.

I’ll post him up when he lands and I get them mounted up.

Cheers!

Made a last minute switch on tires to Yoko Geolandars in 235/65s. Had them mounted up to our Rovers North Wolfs:
