Fuel efficiency can indeed be affected! The 275 55R20 likely gives better MPG since it’s less rolling resistance.
Good advice! I’ve got a Toyota Tundra and I’m worried about clearance. Should I stick to 275 55R20?
For my Dodge Ram, I had to go with the 275 65R20 to prevent rubbing. It fits the model better without modifying the frame!
Honestly, it depends on how you use your truck. Both sizes have their pros, but considering your driving style can totally impact your choice. Anyone else feel strongly about either size?
So true! I’ve noticed a huge difference when switching to 275 65R20 on my SUV for off-road adventures. Much smoother over rocks!

Ha! I’ll stick to whatever’s cheaper! Anyone feel like they’re tires result in marital disagreements? My partner prefers the smaller size, but I love the meatier look!

That’s a great point! I find that the 65R20s also tend to have better longevity because of their thicker sidewalls, perfect for tackling rough terrains.
Exactly, michaelshepard! The 275 55R20 tires might offer better handling on pavement, but if you’re hitting those off-road trails, the 275 65R20s will perform better.
I recently switched to 275 65R20s for my truck and I cannot stress how much better the traction is in muddy conditions! Worth considering if you’re often off-road.
How’s the noise on the highway with those? I’ve read that some all-terrain tires can be a bit louder.
I haven’t noticed much noise, honestly. A little hum that comes with all-terrain tires, but the grip is so worth it! Just make sure you get a good brand.
That’s comforting to hear! For everyday city driving, would you say the 275 55R20s are still a decent option?
For city driving, the 275 55R20s can offer a smoother ride. However, if you encounter bad weather often, the 65s might still be worthwhile.
True, but having that extra height with the 275 65R20s can give you better clearance, too. Just a thought!
Definitely weighing pros and cons here! I always wondered if going larger would impact my fuel economy significantly. What do you all think?
True! But hey, if you’re having fun off-road, who cares about a few extra mpg, right? Just kidding! It does matter!
Good question, cguzman! Generally, larger tires can decrease mileage, but if you’re off-roading more, the trade-off might be worth it for the added traction!
