Default 295/60/20, 285/65/20 or 275/65/20

Alright so I have a friend interested in buying my stock crap tires and I'm trying to decide which size tire I'm going to put on after I sell them. As you can see they are all fairly close in size, I'm just unsure. Let me hear y'all's thoughts, regrets, and recommendations. I know it's simply an opinion but I still would like to see what the forum thinks.

P.S. I plan on leveling, probably with 5100s but I'm also unsure which route I'm for sure going. Thanks in advance

If you have the 3.73 I would go 275/65/20. To me it's better to go taller and stay the same width. Just my opinion.

I will be going 275/65/20 or 285/65/20. I can tell you with my silverado I went to 305/55/20's and the width and weight KILLED my mileage.
I also have 3.73's

No offense to anyone but I'm not a fan of 305/55/20. I prefer taller over wider, so the 305s aren't even an option for me.

Me either. Just noticed between 285/65/20 and 275/65/20 bfg's the 275's aren't rated for severe snow. Wonder why the difference

I live in central TX, severe snow rating doesn't scare me lol. I'm more worried about performance in mud.
