19.5" Tires
Those with F450-550, what do you like for tires. I am coming up on needing tires for mine and was wondering what the general consensus was. Mine are 225/70R19.5, toying with the idea of going with a 245/70R19.5 for a little more width.

Tire width depends on wheel width.
Based on the F-350 in your signature, it sounds like you have aftermarket 19.5" wheels?
If so, do you know the wheel width? If not, the width should be stamped on the inside dish of the wheel, which will be visible on the outside rear dually, as that wheel is reversed.
Optimal tire model and brand recommendation sort of depends on the exact tire size that you are choosing, because not all tire models that are offered in both 225 and 245 sizes have the same speed rating.
So the first decision might be tire width, which is dictated by wheel width, if you wish to benefit from the recommendations of the tire manufacturers and the Tire and Rim Association.
