Just went through this same battle. Couldn't decide between the 2 tire sizes, but definitely happy with the choice I made.

Here's mine...275/60r20 on stock suspension. I love these tires and they are wearing great! I've got 35,000+ miles on this set and they still have 10-11/32 tread depth left. Hoping to get around 60,0

Bigger is better what is there to look at? The tire shop should let you put the tires side by side next to your truck, or even mount them both up for you to see

So what I'm trying to figure out here is all those with 14 - 16 model years seem to have the aluminum control arms and no issues with a modest level and 33 inch tire such as 275/60/20.   BUT, it seems that 2017  & 2018's get the stamped steel control arms and have issues with this.   

 

I really want to get a set of 275/60/20 BFG KO 2's but am hesitant now hearing all the issues people have been having with the 2017 and 2018's.  Last thing I want to do is to spend $1500 on new tires only to find out they rub.

I'm in a 2018...I had a 2016 and had no issues.  Wasn't aware I had to worry about this now.

      Researching best tires for 2 wheel, rear wheel drive
      By Cheladamama
      I currently am driving on 265/70R16 on my '04 Silverado reg cab 4x2. I live in WI. What size tires should I look for and can I put 17 in wheels on it? I can't afford new tires and 17 in ones are much easier to find. I have found some tire/rim combos reasonably priced but all are 17's. I am looking to get info on what size tire would be best. If I stay with 16's should I get narrower tires? Driving in snow is a major consideration. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

      275/60r20 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT
      By JLock
      I have a stock 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 slt preferred package. Time to get new tires and the Mickey Thompson Baja boss at’s look promising. Can anybody tell me if the 275/60 will fit without a level and and real world reviews on these tires (particularly road noise)? It shows that they measure at a 33.4 which is a little bigger than other 275/60s. Pics also appreciated

      P-metric vs LT tires
      By BossTaco2020
      This is more of a general question rather than specific to these trucks. But my 2020 TrailBoss came with LT275/65 R18 GoodYear DuraTrac tires. I'm considering going to some Bridgestone Dueler Revo AT/3 tires. Costco has the LT rated tires for about $20 more per tire than the P-metric tires. My truck is my daily driver, grocery-getter, school bus, and maybe once a month, I go offroad to my mountain cabin. The most I haul is a couple kayaks to the lake every now and then and occasionally yard waste to the city dump. So considering 99.9% of my driving is in the city/highway and I don't tow anything, would it still make sense to go with the LT tires?

      High Mileage Tires??
      By shimmy
      I've been a big fan of Michelin tires in the past but the LTX A/T's that are on my 2020 2500HD are a bit disappointing.  I've done some towing with a 8k pound trailer, a bunch of highway, and the rest of local driving and at 28,000 miles, these tires are looking that they need to be replaced.
      Can you suggest a mostly highway tire that can get me 40,000 miles??  I'm looking for an all season tire that is acceptable in snow, but that's not my major concern.  I'm running the stock 275-70-18's
       
      Thanks in advance.

      Lift NOT Level plus bigger tires
      By FauxCE
      Does anyone know of a kit that will let me lift my truck WITHOUT leveling it? I mostly drive down the highway so I'm not interested in levelling the truck and sending my MPG down the gutter even worse than it already is (I average 16-17 with stock suspension, 275/55/R20 Cooper Discoverer SRX, KN washable engine air filter) but when I go hunting I will sometimes need to cross fallen trees or go over shrubbery that loves to get caught up in the undercarriage. I'm trying to leave the stock rake on the truck but gain an additional inch or two clearance. All the kits I see for lifting the truck also level it. Am I going to have to do the math myself and grab X front suspension kit and Y rear block kit so that both raise approximately the same distance?
       
      Also, if I'm able to get an extra inch of height I wonder what size tire I'd be able to fit then. I like the BFG K02s but wonder if I'd be able to squeeze the 275/65s to fit without cutting or even the 285/65s (only difference between the two is an additional 1/2 inch in diameter).
