Anyone have regrets going to 285/70 17 with a V6?

My Setup (recently installed) on a 2008 4runner sr5 w/ V6: 3" lift with bilstein 5100 height adj. coilovers (not the adj. coilovers). Light Racing UCA's 1.25" Spidertrax spacers 2" Superflex lift coils (with 1.5" daystar spacer on rear passanger side only) AFE CAI My plan was to go to 255/75/17 or 275/70/17 tires (had a couple options lined up), but after seeing the Duratrac my only options would be 265/70/17 or 285/70/17. I would really like to go 32+ inches on the tire. Not sure I want to go as wide as 285's..., but from what I seen from various pics, doesn't look too big. This is also my daily driver and due to where I live I need a tire that is as good on the snow/icy conditions as it is offroad, the duratrac seems to fit the bill! Does anyone have any regrets going to the 285 with a V6..., MPG hit, powerloss, towing, etc..,? Also awhile back I found a thread going over where to set the Caster at to avoid the body mount chop (which I need to avoid), I thought it was to set it at 4.0, but now I can't find it. Anyone know about this? Maybe I found it on another forum or just not getting the search words right. Thanks!

as for the tpms coming on, i am not sure. I took all mine out and bypassed the light because they are too expensive to replace and i check my own tire pressure.
