Default 265/75/16 on a HD CC 4x4?

I currently have Nitto Terra Grapplers on my HD but I'm sure they are robbing some horsepower etc and I don't really like the look of them I was thinking about going back down to 265's. What does everyone think about that? I could do 285's i guess, but, i want a tire that looks like it fits without robbing horsepower.

I think i'm going with Yokohama geolander at tires regardless of the size. They're cheap and they look cool. I like the outlined white letter look

Or you could do a 275/70/16 Michelin. They're not cheap and I don't think this size is available in the OWL but they're great tires in an in-between size.

you should try a 285 at least or a 305.75 r16 it would look nice altough the 285s look a bit small

I have the Yokohoma Geolanders 285/75/r16 on my 1500 and i dont feel any power loss. they are a good tire last forever even after thousands of burnouts but they make alot of road noise... .I mean ALOT. worse than the 35x 12.50 super swappers i had on my old truck... but they do look cool...
