One thing to consider when upping tire sizes. If you only upgrade 4 tires your spare is going to ge be significantly smaller than the rest. This may or may not be an issue depending on when you might need it. For example, if you have a tire failure while wheeling and need to use it you'e not going to be able to put it on the front and still use 4WD since it will cause binding. This isn't an issue in 2WD but then again you know what Murphy says.
