Taller Tires on a 2 wheel drive

I have a 2 wheel drive with a leveling kit. Right now I run
LT265/75R16. I want to get taller tires to fill up my wheel
wells better. I want to go to LT255/85R16 tires. Anyone
run this size on a 2 wheel drive ? Right now I like to tow/cruise
at 65 mph = 1900 rpms in 6th. How much will the taller tires
effect my cruising rpms?

re:- tyre size

Not sure if this will be of any help, but have a look here....Its a UK tyre site...click on tyre comparrison on the left....type in old and new tyre sizes, it'll show you the difference in mph, turns per mile etc....

I found it very interesting...
