Going to commercial 19.5's gives you much stiffer sidewalls for better weight carrying and handling at load. They are overall thicker tires which resist puncture and road hazards more than the LT's. Tread wear is better with the 19.5's than LT's and most can be regrooved.
Down side to the commercial tires is poor flotation on sand, a harsher empty ride, the heavier tire may require heavier dampened shocks, and slightly lower city mileage due to the weight.
