You wanna run the same size all the way around on a 4x so when you DO use it both axles spin the same speeds. I don't personally know the difference in said sizes but I'd personally at least look for some decent matching pre-owned ones.

A 235/75 is 28.88 inches tall and a 225/80 is 29.17 inches tall. So, a little over a quarter inch diff in height. Def wouldn't want to go into 4-wheel unless you're in some really slick stuff.

not a huge difference in size, but over time (in 4x4) it'll damage the transfer case. as for the tyre selection, it all depends on what you want to do with the truck. in a work vehicle ie: heavy loads and heavy towing you'd want a light truck tyre, but most good rv tyres would be 6 ply and can handle it.

if you want to get busy offroad, go for a decent set of muds or all terrains, or you could talk to your local tyre shops to see whats available.

have a good look through the forums and see what people are using on their trucks.

just my opinion though
