19.5 tires
I have been considering 19.5 tires and wheels for my truck, but I was wondering what kind of adverse affects it had on wheel bearings,u-joints, and braking. Anyone using them have any input would be appreciated. Thanks

I have 245/70/19.5 Michelins - went there because I haul a heavy slide in camper in the summer. This size tire with OEM backspacing on the wheels doesn't give me any rubbing and it fits in the spare location under the bed. No issues so far with premature suspension wear, etc. Good question however, since the wheel + tire combination weighs some 150 lbs...

I knew they would have to be pretty heavy, We use 19.5 on some of our truck at work. Did you loose much power? How hard is it too stop with a load?
