Hello,
Looking for insight for those towing with 275/70/17 and 285/70/17. Planning my next tire upgrade from 265/70/17 and don't want to regret going with a taller tire if towing gets a big hit in performance.
Currently have a mostly stock Tremor and it does great towing a Geo Pro 19BH single axle travel trailer, ~3200lb dry and estimate 4200-4500lb loaded (no water in tanks). Towing in the Vegas to surrounding states means I have a couple hills to deal with but nothing the truck can't handle without ease. Adding 1" wheel spacers helped more than I thought it would in stability.
How does gearing feel with those taller tires? I suspect 275/70/17 will feel super close to what I already have so I am leaning there but if the 285's dont hurt towing, might as well. Would appreciate the width when in sand.
Thanks!
