Pretty simple question! If you had a '13 XLT with 20" fx4 rims and a 2" level in front and 2" block in the rear would you run:

275/60/20 @ $1100/set
275/65/20 @ $1300/set
285/65/20 @ $1600/set

I've asked on other forums as well, but I'm beating myself up trying to make a decision, so I'm looking for as many opinions as possible to help guide my decision!

275/65 or the 285/65

I'll be in the same boat next year. Thinking I'll go 275/65/20 as the penalties for a smidge more width and barely some height as well as the weight just doesn't push me to want the 285s that much more.

I'm having guys locally tell me the 275's will look so much skinnier than the 285's and I'm having a hard time realizing that! On paper the 285 is .39" wider and .5" taller, doesn't really seem that much different unless inflated they size difference is really noticeable, I guess I don't know!

Right it's just 10mm or 1cm if you will. Noticeable? Ehh maybe. Just preference.

For snow and off-road use I don't want to go over 285!

I put about 50 miles per day on my truck back and forth to work. For me, stock size was what I wanted to keep the MPGs up, and keep the power. BFG KO2's for the snow, ice/looks and my dirt/mud road habit on the weekends for hunting and fishing. Depending on how much you drive your truck, you'd have to make the decision.

What tires are you looking at getting? I think the best size for you is what I just put on my truck (2" Autospring), 295/60R20s. However that size isn't available in that many tires.

Eric Van Gorp

Really want BFG K02's, but the aren't available in your size or 285/60/20, but tire choices are really limited in both those sizes. The 33.5-34" range really don't have a ton of choices!

Eric Van Gorp

Really like the tires you have, but I drive 18000 miles a year and have a hard time putting an MT on my truck?
