13 sr5 4x4 double cab

bilsteins set at 2.75" with eibach springs and blocks in rear

Have 2.75 inches of lift and trying to decide between 255 85r16 or 265 75r16 on my stock trd rims. I would love to go with the 255's but don't want to loose a lot of power. I tow trailers a lot and don't want to mess up my towing capability. only mild offroading just forestry roads and light camping trips. I had the 265's on my previous truck and they were great but I always wanted to go bigger. Regearing is not in the cards right now. so my question is will the 255's make me loose too much power and or mpg. I have read that there is not much of a weight difference between the 265's and 255's due to them being so skinny. I want to get new tires next week and have to make a deicison please help!
