Bigger tires WILL affect your ride. Just the way it goes. I think there is a thread in the faq section on tires.... might wanna have a look at that.

Cool. 35's would be about the ideal size for that ratio. You could go 37's without too much trouble, you would lose some weight off the front that way.... (but, not as much as going to 35's...) Any aggressive tread pattern is going to give the loud, uncomfy ride. What type of off-roading do you do, and how much?

Go for a good A/T tire then. Not as loud, nice ride, and will still get you further into the rough than is really good for you.

That size, your pretty much stuck with mud tires. If you step up to 17" rims, you'll have a lot more options.
