I made the same brand switch back in Nov 2011 and kept the same tire size 285/60/18. However, going from all weather to AT light truck tires, here are some of my feedbacks. Living in hilly San Franciso with many pot holes, my mpg dropped a few while breaking in the tires. Going with stiffer AT LT tires, I think this is a given. It rides great and smooth outside the Bay Area. It does have an aggressive mountain handling ability with only a slight hum over 70mph. With the Dunlop, the LC felt like floating and not hugging the roads on the curvy Tahoe mountains. I have been keeping the psi at 35. I tried 40psi but I had no difference in mpg and it made the LC a little bit more bouncier. No regrets.

i bumped up the size a little from a 60 series to a 65 series. i think it fills out the wheel wells a little better and i have not had any rubbing issues.
you can definitely hear the terra grapplers more than the stock tires. the ride has not change too much, other than that. obviously the grapplers perform much better off-road. what did surprise me is that they also did better in the sand - i thought the less aggressive tread would have been better there.

I have the same size in Dueler AT Revo 2. I've been very happy after 25k.
