We don't have braking or traction issues on wet or dry roads with 215/85 series tires. They have a 6.5 to 6.8 tread width which works great on tires with close spaced axles in the center of a tall heavy box.
The 235/85 has 3042 lbs capacity vs 2680 lbs for the 215/85 which work out fine for 5.2 lb axles and smaller.
The LT215/85-16 E came OEM on one ton DRW trucks for years till axle capacities went up.
