The 285/75-16 size tire is gaining popularity. It has the 11.5" width that works great on an XJ. It has the D load range and usually thicker/stronger/tougher side walls.
For those you have/are running the 285...
Why did you go with it?
If you have run 33-12.5 tire which do you prefer and why?
Does the stiffer tire ride harder?
Can you run a lower pressure on the street to compensate?
Is the sidewall really tougher?
What is the air down performance?
Does the stiffer 285 conform to rock like the 33-12.5?
I don't want this to be just another tire thread and either tire will looks good so please give answer that include specifics on performance.
