I will be getting myself some mud tyres at the end of the month (subject to the MOT!) and at present am running BFG A/T's 265/70/16.
I have a 2" lift and running the tyres on modulars with -35 offset to stop any rubbing.
My question is, is there any real benefit in going to the larger 265/85/16's instead of the 265/75/16's that I have been looking at?
I am not an 'extreme' off roader, but do like to play and get muddy (last week I got stuck in a very muddy field and had to self-recover with my winch - AT's are not good in extreme mud it would seem when pulling a trailer with about 1 tonne of mud in!).
Just trying to work out if the extra cost and maybe extra strain on the bearing and gearing will be worth anything?
