Well the special track eats diff's for breakfast when they bite :lol: There is not much different in the size you posted apart from the 265 is alot wider. It all depends what you want them for :?
Well my friend has fitted 5 diffs in 4 outing and 2 half shafts but he as got a really heavy right foot :roll:
235-85-16 Work out at 31.73 inch
265-75-16 Work out at 31.65 inch

The 235 85 16s are 31.73 inches high
And the 265 75 16@s are 31.65 inches high
So if you assume that 235 70 16's are standard, then the 85's are 9.66% bigger in diameter and the 265's are 9.39% bigger in diameter.
As to off road? i'd assume that they are quite good based on pattern, but a nightmare on road!!

As has been pointed out, there a bit orrible on the road, quite noisey.

235-85-16 Work out at 31.73 inch
265-75-16 Work out at 31.65 inch
Work out at = theoretical size not actual size
As retreads go the insa turbos are fairly oversized. I've seen measured figures for the special tack in the region on 33" for them and a friends set of 235/85r16 that are stored in our grage at uni measured about 32.5"
