Is gearing mandatory?

I have stampede tires on my jato and if u dont know, they are pretty big. bigger than mashers, about 4 3/4 in tall. Thats compared to around 3.75-4 in stock. is that enough to need to regear or will i be ok? I can spin them from a stop on the pavement and dirt/grass, but it does seem to lag a bit when it hooks up. Is this hurting my drivetrain?

It might be stressing the engine, and making more heat than ideal.

like avg joe said it could stress the motor more but you could mess around with re tuning the low end some it migth work. but im not to sure
