Hello,

2010 EL Limited 4x4 20" chrome PVD rims.

Needing new tire like a month ago. While shopping I've seen an option for 275/60 R20 in about all major brands. Tire specs for all brands are about the same for the two tires sizes, just standard is an approx 32" tire and the second is 33" tire.

I guess I like the sound of a taller tire, but it's only adding .5" or so to height, none to width. They should fit, but my speedometer would be off. Not sure by how much. 653 revs/mile standard 627 revs/mile for new size.

Just looking for some insight if anyone has gone the larger size, anything else to think of. I'm sure the 275/55 would probably be in stock and available sooner. I'm not sure what is running the 275/60 tire.

I'm leaning towards the Yoko Geolander G015 tire. Good specs and we tow a lot.

TIA,
Matt.
