I know that everyone has asked about upgrading to larger tire sizes. My question is for those who have have gone to 245-65-17 (a 31" tire) how does the acceleration feel compared to the stock 235-65-17 (a 29" tire)

I getting ready to change my factory tires to something new and am considering either a 30" or 31" tire, clearance is not an issue with the installed 3" lift. But since I frequently tow between 1500 to 3500 lb trailers i don't want go to the point that I need to re-gear to effectively pull these loads...

Any feedback would help.

Some depends on where you are and what your roads are like
Flat land you may have no issues
If you are in say West Virginia/ Colorado etc then yes you'll feel the effects a lot more
more info maybe ??
