Tires for New 19.5

Well I am going to do it...will be ordering my MKW 19.5's next month and am looking at tires to go on them. I live in the PAC NW...yes it rains here and I have had good experience with an All Season type tire on most of my vehicles. The CTD 2004 had factory GY SRA (17") which worked but had low mileage...sencond set was TOYO AT (17") all around (not 4x4) they worked well and allowed good rotation practices but still low mileage, so off to the world of 19.5's I go. I like the idea of 6 alloy wheels that can be rotated to all positions...BUT NOW what tire? It is not a 4x.

I have looked at Bridgestone and Mich and GY open to all suggestions...would really like comments on the pros and cons of the tire you have? Pls don't let this become a thread about 19.5's wheels...it is TIRES. THX All for your information and comments! Capt PJ

PS I had this posted under 3rd gen and had one reply...hopefully I'll get some response here!!!
