Tires for an expedition 80

All-Terrain

No Road Required
I am trying to decide between 265/75's and 285/75's on stock wheels.

Not going to be rock crawling.

The 80 is listed on various sites as having around 10 inches of ground clearance with factory 275/70's. That's a lot. So I was considering staying with a similar size and running a nice AT or MT in 265/75.

But I see a lot of guys running 285/75's. Do you see a noticeable change in acceleration, braking, etc with the 285's? Wondering if they are worth it for the extra clearance, or if the already-thirsty tractor-engine'd 80 would be better off with a factory tire size.

Appreciate any thoughts, thanks!

I should add... brand new factory LC springs, brand new Bilstein's, going to remove running boards and factory tow hitch (US hitch), and do the spare tire lift to raise it up a few inches.
