BB_TX,
I've had oversized tires for a number of years/decades.....but with this said, I usually only go up a size, ie about 20mm wide and inch taller. Usually this has netted me better load handling, traction in most cases, this does depend upon the tread design! I do lose an mpg or two, slower stopping to some degree, again, depending upon some factors.
NOw doing what Grit has done, one of my sons with his 1500 reg cab, 3-4" lift kit, 31-34" diam tires.......his 4.8V8, 3.42 tires and a 4l60E tranny is not liking all that tire to turn! SOme 4.10's would help him.
I seem to generally speaking, mildly modify most of my trucks depending upon the usage.
My current 1500 is a bit more than normal. 2" front leveling kit, 2" rear 1800 lb capacity add a leaf and shocks to match the front struts. tires as mentioned.
It can be fun! expensive, can pizz off a spouse that has leg issues climbing.....
