They are just big wide stock tires, depends on what rim and lift combo you have,

A 255x85x16 is 33.3 inches tyre and is only made by bfg that I know of and only comes in a mud tyre. It would be ideal on a 7" wheel. It is also D load rated which may make it a bit stiffer. This tyre is 1/2" narrower than a 33x10.5x15.

Not to burst your bubble, but they are actually more of a 33" x ~11" on a 16" rim.

Check your math again. 255/85r16 stands around 33" tall.
BFG Mud Terrain, a few Dunlops' and some model of Goodyear Wrangler are all I know of in this size.

I ran the Trxus in that size, and they were about 33 x 10.5 on a 16" rim. They were a great all around tire, but I did want a little wider so I opted for a 285/65/16. The 255/85/16 fits inside the wheel well very well.
Becuase they are D rated, the ride is a little stiffer than normal, but I did like how they rode at highway speeds. When they're aired down it doesn't look like they are and it throws ya a little. It takes much more to get them to bulge obviously.
