Default Refinance to longer mortgage term?

Would it be a wise decision to refinance to a much longer mortgage term in order to reduce monthly payments?

I have a 25 year mortgage term with a reasonable rate. I am buying a new car, and it got me to wondering. What if I refinanced to a 30 or even 40 year mortgage at a comparable or even lower rate? Is there a tax benefit?

I can and will save more if I lower my monthly payment considerably, but can you foresee any negatives to lowering my payments and extending the mortgage duration?
