Question Advice Please. 285/60R20 or 275/65/R20

I know I'm beating a dead horse on this one, but I need some advice. I've read countless threads and seen even more pictures, but I just can't decide. I'm pretty set on DuraTracs tires. I like the width of the 285/60s but diameter of 275/65s. I can't fully tell from pics, but I'm worried the 275/65s might look skinny. So, y'all give me your opinions on which you feel look better and post some pics if they apply.


I have a 2012 FX4 with a 2" level with stock FX rims. Thanks guys.

How about looking at a 285/65 tire? Assuming you're willing to compromise on tire selection because I don't think this size is offered on the Duratrac..... If dead set on the Duratrac, I would go with the 285/60.

they are fairly skinny, I went with this size in a bfg for my fx4. I love them tho its the same width as the stock tires so if you didn't like that I would suggest you go to the wider tire...

between those two, you're only roughly .5" away height wise. if you like the width of the 285's then go with them. they would be 33.46" tall over the 34.07" for the 275/65.

I never understood when people said on here that pics don't do the look of their tires justice. NOW I get it. It looks SO good in person.
