Agreed, mud terrains aren't worth it unless you see lots of mud! And there are certainly downsides to "skinny" tall tires... Especially if you drive your truck like a sports car hahaha. Tire folding is a very serious, and dangerous thing... But going with a tire that has a thicker and stronger sidewall can mitigate that to some extent.
From what I have read, the 285's are very popular in A/T for lots of expedition vehicles. The reason i like the opinions of the expedition guys, is because their trail rig is a street legal rig that gets them all over the world (including hwys and large cities). Thanks for some real world comparisons! I do think that it would be easy-ish to match mpg if one shopped around and tried their hardest to match the tire/wheel weight of the previous combo...
