To the original question, 265/70/16 or 255/85/16. The isn't much difference, so choose the one you think will suit you best based on your personal preferences (height, looks, etc.).

As Tony said, its alot of junk on the interwebs, I've been overdoing the research myself. Just get out there, watch closely, on difficult obstacles you can see whats up. Cutting a tire or having no traction when you are stuck between a few rocks is alot worse than all this analysis. You can buy some tires, then sell some tires, you will lose a bit of money as you figure out but its not that bad.

BTW in the article posted, this guy uses a term "vertical load" that would be laughed at in engineering school. I personally have no idea what the formulas are for this, but I recognize some hand waving when I see it. He does not actually run the calculations an automotive engineer would be doing, they will be standardized. Narrow tires are for MPG, wide tires are for traction, all autosports. Cost efficiency of your build in the terrain you run is a whole other issue.

They may not for the taco. I am still running 15s since they are cheap for tires and wheels.
