Default LT245/75R/16 or P255/70/16

I had a 99 Ranger 4x4, auto, 4.0 that I had LT245/75R/16 on that got rear ended and totaled and I replaced it with a 2007 Ranger with same options except it has P255/70R/16 tires on it which are getting ready for replacement. My question is can I drop a size from the P255/70R/16 to LT245/75R/16 as like the 10 ply tires as I do a lot of driving off road and so far I haven't found and tires in the 255 size that are 10 ply that have a mud and snow tread. I know it might make a difference in my MPH & speed but is there any other thing that the size might affect? Thanks

i know this is a bit old but my 99 4wd i have always had general grabbers on and are 265/75/16--biggest that will fit it and it is very close--the current 22 4x ranger i just got the tires i replaced factory with general grabbers again and the max size with very little to spare that will fit was 265/70/16 and had to adjust the crash bars a bit after the suspension loosened up and it sat lower
