Toyota Sequoia Tires and Wheels

in Toyota
I have a 2003 Sequoia which I love. It has about 51K miles on it and is ready for new tires. I have always thought that for the size of the vehicle, the tires are rather small (their profile that is). The current size is 265/65/17. I'd like to know if there's a downside with using larger (profile only) than the OEM tires.
I was thinking 265/70/17.
Can anyone comment on this please?
Thanks!

Or should I just put the Pirelli's on?
Thanks for your help!
I have about 52000 miles on my Limted 4x4. Stock tire is a 265-65-17, but wondering (before I make a mistake) if I can upgrade to 18 or 20 inch wheels/tires w/o sacrificing the handling in the snow/rain up here in the Pacific NW. I have heard stories from others that they have gone bigger, all the way around, but have suffered with the ride and handling since they use these rigs for skiing, etc.....don't know much about tire siizing, but if I go to a 70 in width, will that greatly affect my speedo?
But, this is the wrong direction for wet and snow traction.
I suggest you go to either Tire Rack's or Discount Tire's web site. They have done all the homework and can provide properly sized tires and rims.
But, again, going up in rim diameter is going the wrong direction for wet and snow traction.
The vehicle also has the tire pressure monitoring system so I am concerned that the rims would need to be compatible with this. I'm afraid to ask what alloy wheels will cost. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks(:
I had a set of 20" rockstar wheels with 275/55 tires on my 01 Sequoia. In order to fit the tire in the spare location, I had to press it against the receiver hitch.
