The flotation off road, and lateral acelleration/braking On Road, suck with skinny tread.
Sorry I'd have to disagree with that. I'd go with 255/85/16 instead of 285/75/16 anytime.
Narrower gives you more pressure and less hydroplanning, which are things you want if it rains a lot (and heavily) like in the South.

You'll find people VERY passionate about sizes AND models, so don't listen to them. Just get the Thornbirds in 255/85/16 and voila!
:p
