So, I have the original 15x5.5 wheels on my fj, and have watched the available tall skinny tires for this rim size slowly evaporate. I know 31x10.5 is an option, but really want a tall skinny for my rig as it now has a 2.5" lift. So, after searching exhaustively for a tall skinny "C" load rated all terrain tire (which doesn't exist), and spending many hours reading through Mud posts and opinions, I've thrown up my hands and decided the 235x85R16 is probably the way I'll go. I toyed with the 245x75R16, but opinions seem to be that it would be a bit small for a 40 with a lift.
I'm a little reticent about getting an "E" load rated tire, so if I'm going this route, what is the consensus out there? For an "E" rated tire, do some brands offer a more comfortable ride (I realize comfort and fj40 are generally mutually exclusive), springs aside.
I plan to drive quite a bit on roads, but also enjoy some mild offroading.
Anyway, would love any thoughts out there. and pictures of 40's with a 2.5 inch lift and 235x85R16 and 245x75R16 tires would be much appreciated!
Thanks fellow mudders!
