I just got a set of 235/85/r16 if you want bigger. I have heard that some tires in this size don't fit because the back tires touch each other. They are Mastercraft Courser AT. I haul a skid steer have not had any problems so far.

215 85 R16 Bridgestone AT Revos are what I run...I love them!

I run 235/85 16 Michelin XPS tractions on my dodge. Great wear and grip - except on ice - and I don't think you'll find a tougher casing. They have steel in the sidewalls! Pricey, but so far have about 60k, and getting ready for new ones...

I upgraded to the P235/85/16 tires. No issues with rubbing as some have voiced concerns about. Tires are awesome, quiet, work very well in snow.

I run 235/85/16 Mastercraft Courser Ct's summer, and Mt's winter. Never an issue!
