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

[crazymac]

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!!

Two of my mates run special tracks, they leave the other lads on BFG muds and Khumo's way behind in mud.

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

Motor no1 had 265-75-16 insa traction track flu up the field.  :lol:

Motor no2 had 265-75-16 Bfg's mud's and failedand turned back  

Motor no3 had 245-70-16 Bfg's mud's  and Driver no1 got it up.  :lol:

Motor no4 had 265-75-16 Bfg's mud's flu up second time  :lol:

Motor no5 had 35" simex arb air lockers took four times  

So if you ask me its all down to how you attack it

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"
