Hi, I found a similar article. The following article says 255 tires are better for handling both off and on-road situations. Also255 tires are able to handle a heavier load than the 235. 235 tires will save you more fuel. Is it right that 235 tires save fuel?

The difference is one is 20mm wider. No way to know anything else without the aspect ratio, rim size and load range.

Im an advocate of sticking with 235. I replaced all 4 with Cooper Adventurer all seasons. I highly recommend, superior on road handling.
