235x85x16 tyres

I am thinking of fitting some 235x85x16 tyres and have noticed that they have a higher than normal load rating. Does this mean that they will be a stiffer tyre and flex less and will also ride more harshly on the road.

Yes... they will be much stiffer. Those are typically truck tires for dually's and such...load range E. I would stay away from those on your XJ....

Scott.

tall and skinny though, you could run them @ 14 psi for a better ride. my .o2
