Tall narrow tire

What is the tallest, narrowest tire that is E rated that I can fit on my 1998 4x4 (I need an A/T tire)

Probably a 255/85. I think they come in 'E'. 235/85 is what I run to keep my speedo accurate, but would like a 255 next time.

Have you looked into Rickson wheels and tires?

I've got a set of 235/85s and don't like them very much because they are so tall and skinny. I don't really care how they look, but there is SO much sidewall flex with these things. It really makes the truck roll a lot more. If you want tall and skinny I'd go with the 255/85s. 235's have too much sidewall for a SRW in my opinion.

255/85 would have even more sidewall than a 235/85...

Yeah but they have a slmost an inch wider footprint which should make it more stable.
