Pizza Cutter Tires 235/85R16 Pics?

[sethel]

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 and mpg's. The 2" BDL was perfect for not hitting fender wells at full articulation with those.

Does anyone have pictures of stock or slight lifts with 235/85R16's preferably K02's? They are a 31.7" tall tire which seems just a bit small considering I have that small lift. But I think I'll enjoy the power and MPG gains from them since each tire is 15 pounds lighter than my current set-up and much closer to stock size for my 3.73 gears.

You mean a narrow, not as wide right? What size was OE on the door, door jam tag or the RPO code?

No pictures, but I ran 235/85s on my 1-ton for a bit. I've thought about getting them again, but they're always more expensive than a 245/75.

I dont really remember much about them except that I didnt get mud flung on the side of my truck, like I did with 265s.

Not on gmt400, but on 91 ran thinner front tire for a bit due to availability issues.

That tire size is usually what dually's run front and back

Hard to believe you’re losing that much power. I don’t think I would change the tires, but rather do a good tune up and some performance bolt ons. A skinny tire on those wheels would look goofy. Or maybe install a factory sized tire but nothing smaller.

I had bfg ko2 and replaced them with coopers. So far i like them, I don’t have to use 4wd as often.

@modernbeat that looks good, those tires fit great.

I can. Going from 32s down to 31s made a huge difference on my Jeep. I couldn't accelerate uphill with the 32s, and it had an exhaust and a tune. That 1" in height made all the difference.
