    235/85/16 with auto

    Looking at some bigger rubber for the cooks shopping cart but a bit cautious with the auto I don't want to kill it. It won't be towing anything. Just a shopping cart/spot lighting/occasional touring work a bigger trans cooler is on the cards also

    Ran my last 300 Auto on 235/85's no problem. It dropped the revs slightly for a given speed when the T/C locked up, maybe slightly slower off the line also, but it never caused issues.
    I towed quite a bit with it too.

    There's another set waiting to go on the wife's current one, no good reason asides I got a set of 235/85's for less than 1/4 of the cost of a set of 235/70's.

    I reckon our disco was heaps better to drive with the 235/85's on it.

    I know a bit smaller but when i have the 265/70's on its like a different vehicle, better pickup and easier cruising.
