[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1807401, member: 19817"] A 235/85 is 1" taller overall so 1/2" closer to the trailer deck. On my trailer all I had was 1/2" between the 80 series tire and the underside of the deck at full compression, thus the 85s rubbed at full load. The diamond plate added plenty of extra clearance. I understand all about tire sidewalls. But a loaded tire really only flexes on the bottom where it meets the road. If it's flexing on top then you have a compromised tire carcus and it's junk. So a 14ply tire will be no closer to rubbing the trailer deck than a softer 10ply. [/QUOTE]
