Michelins for Missions

[BB_TX]

5000 miles on the Missions. Thread still looks great, but I noticed a small bulge on the inside of the front curb side tire yesterday. Not a large bubble (yet), as if air had leaked between the layers. Just the beginning of a noticable bulge. I think it is time to replace them as we are getting ready for another trip.
Those of you who have replaced your Missions with Michelin XPS, what size did you put on? My Missions are ST235/80/R16. The closest thing I see Michelins in LT235/85/R16E and LT245/75/R16E. I believe the 85 would be taller. Correct? Would prefer the same height or shorter. The 245 would be wider, but maybe shorter?
And with the bulge beginning to show, would Tireco give me any refund?

Bill, Tireco gave me the choice of taking replacement tires from them or purchasing my own replacements and getting 80% of the purchase price. It only applies after you return your Missions to them for inspection. Of the four I returned only one was found to be defective. (This matched my suspicion also.) Took a while to get the check but the process was simple. With over 19K miles on the mission tires some refund was better than nothing.
