255/85/16 or 265/75/16

I really don't know how to go with new tire selection (by the way, picking up tomorrow!). 255 85 - very limited selection and the K03s are not one of them or 265 75 of which there is a huge selection. I like the fact that the 255 85 are a full 33" but I think it might be too narrow. The Falken is available in that size which is good. Any thoughts?

I'm running 17s so 80 and 70 series respectively, but same dilemma. I'm currently running 265s which i think is the perfect width but would like the extra inch of height available with the 255s. Right now I'm leaning 255. Either way you can't do better than the Falken. If they had a 265/75x17 for me or 265/80x16 for you we'd both be golden. I've also considered 275/70x17 which is either the best or worst of both, available in the Falken, but not as heavy of sidewall.
