285/70/17 Rock Throwing?

[MudMonsterRacin]

After driving on these 265 General grabbers on the non sas black diamond, I realize they hold and throw rocks almost as bad as the Goodyears that are on the SAS broncos. I have rockbloks but they don't stop everything. Thinking about upgrading to a 285/70/17 to reduce this and add a bigger tire. How are your tires with picking up and throwing rocks? Leaning towards Falken Wildpeaks.

Why would you get a bigger tire if you don't like the debris the smaller ones kick up?

I have the Goodyears and I feel sorry for anyone driving behind me! They will hold rocks for a couple of miles before shooting them at other drivers.
I have had other tires that throw rocks but my last set of Nitto Trail Grapplers were great. They rarely threw rocks at all and I live on a gravel driveway.

Because if I'm swapping new tires I'm gonna go larger. I understand what you're saying, but I'm guessing theres a tire out there that doesn't hold stones on dirt and eject them on pavement like these tires do even though they are larger. My rokbloks will have plenty of width coverage for the larger tires. rocks still find their way under them occasionally plus its beating up every metal part under the fender wells. Ive ran AT tires on my f150 prior that don't hold stones like these tires do.
