It all depends on how often you are loaded heavy, if more often than not go with the smaller tire. It will be easier to get to speed and less sidewall flex. If you only occasionally tow heavy either tire will work fine. I would tell you to run 70 lbs on a LR E tire but look at the sidewall and always know what it said there, I always run 5-10 lbs under recommended Max pressure. check with the local tire shops for the lug nuts, don't I see chrome lug nuts poking out of the hub caps on the factory rims or is that part of the cap?

OK Fellow's, I just slapped the Alcoa's on with the smaller tire's for now, the tire's have some descent tread on them and want to get some running out of them before i mount the bigger tires on. Question, How tight should i tork the lugnut's? Should i check themagain after running a few mile's? Also how much air should i run in these smaller tire's , on the sidewall it says up to 80lb. cold

I still run 235/85/16's on my stock rims with hub caps. Maybe i'm just used to it, but I don't mind the image at all, and i imagine it helps with mileage more than running 285's or 265's
