The Firestones on my truck are 215/70x16. I would have preferred the 225/85x16 because they're quite close to the original tire dimensions. I have that size on my Packard with 4.5" rims and they perfectly fill the wheel well. The price difference was too great to justify their purchase , however. These Firestones were $94 each on Amazon.
The 215/85x16 tires will be about 1 1/4"" or so taller sidewall than these. That translates to about 2 1/2" in diameter larger.
