The 235/80R16 is 30.8” in diameter

The 235/85R16 is 31.7” in diameter

So it would make the 235/85R16 .5” bigger all tge way around.

Also the carlisle radial trails are a 12 ply in that size. 10 ply in the 235/80R16

Retail on a 235/85R16 carlisle radial trail 12 ply is roughly $125 thats what we would sell them for at work mounted new valve stems and balanced, just plus $5 tire disposal and tax

The 235/80R16 carlisle radial trail 10 ply is roughly $105

I Thought about going to 235/85R on the 5ver and it seemed it would work out ok and enough room. Until you actually toe it on a trip and who knows. Also it would have made it tight on the type wheel chocks I use between the tires with the 235/80s. All this must be considered!
