Default Great Tire Deal. Help needed quick!!!

ok found some 31x10.5 15 on my local craigslist with only 15k miles on them they are BFGoodrich all terrain a/t.

Now heres the kicker he only wants $20, one has a plug in it but other wise they are fine.

I have 235/75/15s on the truck now and i measured the diameter and the 235 are approximately 27" in diameter and obviously the tire i can hopefully get are 31" so will that be noticeable at all. ive been texting the guy and he has somebody coming out tomorrow april 12th at 4 pm and if i can get there before that other guy then i can have them.

so this is obviously a great deal so how are they gonna affect gas mileage and power for my 3.9l V6.

i am deffinately goon try my hardest because i want them but wanna know how much if at all i am gonna notice in height of the truck

You probably wont notice alot of difference besides the bigger tire will fill the fender well fuller. And there will be a slight decrease in power and gas mileage just because its a bigger tire and it will take more power to turn them.
