You will have more resistants with the larger (well wider) tires. The less aggressive the tread the less rolling resistants to the RV (less HP/TQ to mantain speed or climbing hills/Mtns).

I have a 92 YJ with 33x12.5x15 tires on mine (BF Goodrich AT) and when I let off the gas its slows down much quicker than what the oem street tires did.

Before the BFG's I had an aggressive mud tire and they were the worst on road handling, wondering and rolling resistants. So I suggest an AT type tire (or aggressive street type tire?)

So thats something to keep in mind when shopping for new tires for your Jeep.

To be clear I am NOT towing my Jeep with my Axis (yet). Not sure what I want to do.... the old Jeep is not very confortable + lots of miles on it and hard to get in an out (jacked up 5 + inches)... I might get a newer jeep for towing and leave it mostly stock.
