These are on/off road tires (not mud) which I kind of wanted to upgrade to in the future. I'm currently running all-season Michelin Highway M/S LTX 235/75-15 tires and I like that size. How much bigger is the standard size in relation to the size I currently have? Is it noticable at all?
The difference between those two sizes is about 2" in height and 1.5" in width.
The 235/75 is about 29X9.00.
Here is some info on tire sizing:

31X10.50 are too big for a stock GC without some rubbing..
