You don't see the link huh?
If you're "theory/opinion" is correct the 235x85 should be even worse on a 100.
I've driven 255x85's on a loaded up LR Disco 2 for almost three years and had great results. They performed very well, and if you kept them aired up properly on the road, they handled well there too. And I experienced no different wear than any other size tire. Now, if you're running them on smooth tracks or on the road aired down, I can definitely see where the wear on the edges could occur.
I've also run 235x85's on a LR Disco XD and they worked beautifully. By the way, the 235x85 is 1.3 inches shorter than the 255x85.
I'm starting to get a feel for your type of builds. Body lifts, wide tires, etc.
