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.

Id suggest 285/60.

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...

275/60... stay with a P rated 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.

that's the size i went with. no off-roading and driving around my little daisy 6 month old daughter. Bilstein 5100's all around give a nice and clean ride along with a little baby lift. i'm content with what i went with.

Thanks for the suggestions gents. I went with the 285/60s. Should be getting them mounted this Thurs or Fri.

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.
