Hello,

265 are better on sand than 235. Check if you will need it.

265, 235, 7.50 have nearly the same diameter and in some countries you won't find immediatly your size. You'll may need a 2nd hand spare tyre to the next big town.

It's a personal choice, over the years I've had MUDs and allterrain
Bfg, at2, mtrs and my truck runs alot better with the 235's
Handles better , steers better and performs better.
I got the 265's because at the time i thought they looked better but now wish I had stayed
With the 235's which I think actually now think look more appropriate.
Just my experience but go for the 235's Have fun be happy
