I found that my Blazers handle much better with the stock 235/75-15" tires. Better handling, better fuel mileage and much better traction in snow and ice on my plow trucks. 31s, 32s, and 33s just amplify the bump-steer and handling and drop the fuel mileage substantially. I like the way the big tires look, but other then appearance, pretty useless. Even using 31 X 10.50s drops almost 2 MPG.
Even had any troubles with the rear U-joints going bad every 5-10K miles? I had that problem on all my K5s until I made a few modifications.
Also wondering how you put the 235/85-16" on your K5. Did you swap to 8 lug axles, or did you find some later 16", six-lug rims?
