I've had a car trailer with a 110 behind my Discovery on 235/85R16 BFG MT tyres, which are the same diameter as yours, just 30mm narrower. No problems and I could do 60 mph with no worries.

Might be worth cleaning the intercooler out if you haven't done so recently - it'll give you a noticable bit of power back.
