Bigger is not neccessarily always better. Fitting bigger tyres raises the effective gear ratio, which is not always ideal. Also, there is a finite ammount of strain that the drivetrain can cope with berfore something breaks. On standard tyres, the tyres will usually lose traction before the halfshafts/diffs give up. Fitting bigger, more aggresive tyres can cause component failure long before the tyres run out of traction.

Whilst we may be able to help you, we aren't psychics - what vehicle is it on and what are you using it for? ;)
