swapping tires??maybe.

i was thinking of changing tires on my bronco, i had BFG longtrails on there now. I would like to go up a size(31 to 32) and get something with a more agrresive tread maybe Dick Cepek mud country. I tow a5500lb trailer, will the bigger size tire and/or tire with more of an off road tread help or hurt my towing? also, what tire would you suggest if i should make this move?

After doing a Lift on my truck, I swaped out my stock tires for a set of Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrains. Depending on your rim size they do have tires from 31" to 33". I have not had a chance to test them out off road in the mud & dirt but they work great in the snow storms we have had. They also have great road manners and dont get the whine on the road like some mud terrains and other similar highly aggressive tires.
