Pizza Cutter Tires 235/85R16 Pics?

Been thinking of a thinner tire, everything I read says I'm not losing performance on trails if I do. But I'm a little concerned it's going to look too small. Currently I have a 2" BDL with 295/75R16 BFG K02's Really love that size but the 33.3" tall tire (brand new) killed quite a bit of power...

What the heck is this called? And what's its purpose in life?

I just installed a new radio into my 95 k1500. After I put it in I have found I have no heat and my mode selector doesn't work. The blower works fine, but I can't direct it and there's no heat. I have checked all the fuses that I can possibly think belong to either the mode selector or heater...
