I just put new tires on my truck. They are 235/85-16
They are bigger than original 215/85-16 and seem to grip very well. I needed something that could dig through snow and mud and sand and get me to the firewood. After looking over the local selections, I felt the Cooper S/T Maxx was the best bet. They are MEATY.

I am unsure of the mileage so far because I sprung a gas leak about the same time I put them on. So far it seems to be the same even though I have been trying to find places I can't go.... They have taken me everywhere I have wanted to go this week. I will get pics of the hills I have been climbing.

Not trying to sell tires here, just amazed with mine.....

I am keeping mileage logs and will post up when I get a few tanks run through.
