if you want relaly good mileage 235/85R16 is the best tire to get. its the best all around town and highway tire, great for towing as well. if your looking straight highway a 255/85r16 is going to be the best. they are .5 taller then the 285's and are narrower. im getting another set of rims for some 285's this summer and when my 235/85's wear out im getting some 255/85's for the stock rims for winter.
