"I got the 235's on the advice posted here and I'm glad I followed it.
My DD commute is over 60 miles round trip and has a lot of stop and go. No highway driving.
The acceleration is as poor as I can tolerate, if the tires were any bigger, I'd have to swap out the 5.12 gears."

Blue Meanie, I just noticed your comment on "having to swap out your 5.12 gears".  I'm thinking your 2 liter Tracker with the auto tranny came with 4.88 gear sets in it and unless you have already swapped out the stock gears for a set of higher 5.12 (Tracker/Gv) gears, you still have the option of jumping up to a set of readily available gears for your truck.  You would gain ALOT of gear generated torque running 235s without a huge reduction in MPG.   Just a thought.

I swapped out 205 60 16 for 235 75 15. I found this change to gain a slight improvement in milage and improved steering.
