Anyone have any 235/85R16 tires around or know a cheap place to get some good used ones. I have two good ones but need two more or four 225/75R16. The tires on my Chevy are getting pretty bad. The cords are showing through on one of them and hate to spend $500-600 for new tires.

Good morning everyone! Yet again, Monday is here. Ugh ...

Today's schedule doesn't look to bad. Tomorrow's schedule is going to suck though. Meetings all day long.

Tried CL, but nothing that looked that great. Seems like that tire size is a thing of the past. Could go to 265/75R16, but 160hp is not enought to turn those easily.

Just got invited to a noon conference call (does not include lunch) with my boss. I hate noon meetings, especially when they don't involve lunch.

Physically, a 235/85 and a 265/75 are the same height(within 1/10 of an inch). They are the same tire, weight wise as well. If you have 235/85's now a 265 will work fine.

You could also go with a 245/75 tire as well, those are 1.2" shorter than a 235/85.
