19.5 wheel/tire advice

Say a guy would like to explore 19.5 wheels and tires.

What would a good tire be that is similar to a 285/70 Toyo M/T? I know they don't make a full mud/snow tire in that rim size but I do get offroad and don't want a full road tire.

Also, is the 285/70-19.5 tire sizes equal to what I run now? I'd prefer to not go smaller.

Or would I be better off sticking to a 17" tire? I need more tire capacity. Thanks all!

    I can't comment on vision wheels. I have used Rickson gear since 2004 and have found it flawless. Dan, the owner, carefully inspects tires for roundness and his mount and balance system is very thoughtful. They ship all over. I'm not an agent for Rickson, just a happy customer. There are not many who know more about 19.5" tech than Rickson.

    I ran the Toyo 608Z on a 08 F450 and you will be surprised how little noise they make on pavement. Check out the Toyo M920 also, its not as aggressive as the 608Z

    I like the traction with my Toyo's they are louder than some but not a problem with me. I have driven them for 22K on snow, ice and many gravel roads but not in the mud, I'm pleased with their traction.
