Oddball size?

Tire Rack only shows I tire in this size, BFG's. I have 235/85R16 Duratracs on my truck.

Several tire manufacturers make this odd size. I've seen them on tons of trucks, but I would like to see them on an 80-86 truck. I have 235/85/16's on the front and '265/75/16's on the back. I'm planning to get some new rubber and was just going to get 235/85's all the way around, but might go with 255/85's instead.

Why don't you like the 265/75s? Wheels too narrow?

I just like tall skinny tires. My truck is 2wd, no need for fat rubber.

Fair enough... one of my cars has 335s on it, I'm looking forward to putting 265/75s on, just can't justify replacing the nearly new (<2000 miles) 235/85s it has right now.
