Time for Tires

I thought that I may get a couple more rotations out of my factory BFG 265-70-17's. They have 35K on them but are looking a little sketchy.
I was thinking of upgrading size to 285-75-17 so I can fill up a little of my wheel wells but continue to use my factory aluminum 17 x 7.5" rims.
I haven't found a lot of tires online in this size. Toyo, Nitto, BFG Mud TA's and Cooper ST Maxx's.
Tire thoughts? Size upgrade worth it?
Any input would be great! Thanks in advance!

The 295-70-17 cooper maxx are a nice larger size that dont eat up too much gearing. The larger tires really affect the 6.2.
