19.5" Tire Comparisons
I've been running a DRW for the last couple years, and prior to that had a SRW with 19.5s on it. I'm looking at possibly upgrading the DRW to 19.5s in the near future. Currently running OE size 235...

I wouldn’t change to 19.5s to go offroad. I think you’d be better off with a 20 conversion since there are far more options for tires, and they can be aired down, or simply stay with 17s. Generally smaller rims are better offroad with more sidewall.
I’ve run Hankook DH01s and Bridgestone 724s. My next tires will probably be Toyo M655s.
Yeah, i've been strongly considering converting to 20s and running a 275 or 295 tire. I edited my post to reflect that and my concerns with doing so. With a 500lb winch bumper, backseat full of tools, and heavy camper, we're asking a lot of the front tires and I want a larger buffer there. I need to get to the scales, but I'm sure we're close to or over the limit.
