Your vehicle will have the same amount of power as before, unless you
are also planning to make engine changes at the same time.  The tires
you have now are 29", if you go up to 31", you'll have about 7% less
torque at the wheel than before.  Probably not enough to notice but
you'll have to make that decision for yourself.  If its a big issue,
then the solution is to regear the axles to compensate for the taller
tire.

I'm guessing he will definately notice.  I just went from a 265/75R-16
to 285/75R-16 on my V-10 powered truck and I noticed a decrease in
performance right away.

Going from 30" tires to 32" tires in my 92 Bronco made a noticable
difference.  Both in power, and in MPG.
