Just bought new tires
 
Just bought new tires; went from Goodyear 235-75x15 to 31-10.5x15's by Hankook AT'S. Noticed difference in power / torque (less), not as smooth a ride, but looks a lot better. anyone have experence with this set up?

You could have an increased rolling resistance issue. Some truck tires are terrible in that regard. Did you go from a street tire to an AT? That might be why you are having such a noticeable difference.

Good to know, as I finally ordered Nitto Terra Grapplers in 265/75s and figured that mod was a necessity. If my '02 Edge will look like yours in the end, I may just leave it, too.

That's what I've heard from a lot of folks here, so that's why I bought 'em. Can't wait!
