He drives it fine.. Not a crazy driver at all. Max tow is around 2,000 pounds. A few ATVs and all the gear that goes along with it. Fluids, generator, camping gear... things like that.

275 55 20 = 31.91 diam and 10.827 wide
305 55 20 = 33.209 diam and 12.008 wide
Don't forget you're also increasing the mass of the wheel/tire. More mass means more energy to get them moving. More energy = more stress on the drivetrain/tranny.
Not trying to discourage you, but want to make sure you understand the full impact of the change (and help you plan accordingly).

I can't yell you enough how much I appreciate your information. Been reading MANY posts about this and don't remember hearing any info about gearing.
Thanks again... very useful in making my decision.
