had a 97 SEwith stock size 265/70/16.... bought used with brand new Bridgestones on it. I thought it handled OK. It was no sportscar thats for sure, but I think that was due more to body wallow and roll from suspension settings rather than tire size. I got 16-18 mpg, about normal. Had no traction problems in wet or dry. I typically ran pressure on the hard side, 34-36psi I think.
I had a 94 pickup with stock size 235/75.15 was the biggest size you could run on the stock rims. Strangelyenough the guy who bought it from me (my mechanice) put a size bigger 30x9.5 and he gets slightly better mileage, but at a loss of power to get the bigger tires rolling.
My current 2001 SE has 255/70/16 I think...anyway tires are slightly smaller in size than my 97. Better mileage, but this is more engine difference here.
