Default larger tires, yay or nay?

Hey,
My LX470 stock tire size is 270/70-16, but I've seen people go with 285/75-16 tires. I already know the benefits of a larger tire and will be taking advantage of those benefits, but what are some down sides? Aren't larger tires rated for slower speeds?
Also I know the speedo is going to be off, how could I have it adjusted to accomidate the larger tire size?

Thanks,
Robert
