The nominal (specified) diameter of your size is +/- 2.44 inches greater in diameter than stock, so a much larger tire on average (there is slight dimensional variation between tire manufacturers).
In between the stock and your size are LT215/85R16 tires that have same load rating as stock tire, but are just over an inch taller. These were common size with dually pickups back when they still used 16” wheels.
I do not have first-hand experience with specifics of OP question, but in general doubt much of a ride improvement as long as tires require same air pressure to handle the load. Also, taller tire sidewalls that flex easier could adversely affect steering. And taller tires will adversely affect braking, though drivers may not notice the difference. Lots of trade offs to consider as with most revisions.
