Bigger tires will give you less towing power. But the Wrangler has a low towing capacity anyways. What are you towing?

Your only real option is to change the axle ratios to 4.10. You can go to 4.56 and have a much better puller and offroader, but with those tires your rpms will be humming along at hwy speeds.

snowmobile... isn't that some type of cold weather related sport that requires the women to be covered head to toe with no skin showing?

I'll stick to boats.

Jeeps have lots of down hill towing capacity.
