Interesting that the 285s overshot your speedometer a little. The 235/85 are interesting to me too, I imagine they would be a tiny bit better for mileage than my current 265s and I can add about 1/4” of height to possibly make my odometer a little more accurate. I had the same thought about snow but it doesn’t make much of a difference to me either being in Texas

On my truck the fuel milage is about the same, but the tires seem to last longer. (no towing or hauling)
I would not go back to the 265's personally. But the 235/85/16 seem interesting. I did not check but guess the 265/85/16 are not a common size. I don't drive in snow but wonder if the narrow tires would be better in the snow. (My truck never has been in winter conditions as I live in FL and rarely drive out of state.)
