275/60R20 or 295/55R20

I've decided on Toyo Open Country AT2s, but need to decide on tire size.

2008 Tahoe LT and I'm going with:
- CCM 2.5"F and 1"R
- F/R Bilstein 5100's (fronts most likely set to min)
- 20" Sierra Replicas

275's
33" Tall x 10.83" Wide
P Tire
SL Load
44lbs
$225ea

295's
32.8" Tall x 11.61" Wide
LT Tire
E Load
60lbs
Exteme Version deeper tread
$320ea

Is it worth the extra money for the wider tires, I dont want to regret not buying them.

Anyone with input of comparison photos would be great. I am not doing too much highway driving anymore but would lime for it to be a comfortable ride when I do.

I dont want to comment on the width as i have been out of the tahoe game for a while...

But, i just sold a yukon xl that i put the AT2 on and drove for an easy 60,000 miles. The tire performed flawlessly, wore great and still had life.

TODAY, just an hour ago, i put a set of AT2 Extremes on my 2500 dodge diesel, HUGE apperance difference.

I am sure the tire will perform as expected...but if it will fit...GO EXTREME.

Do you want wide look or skinny look? If me I would go 295 on replica and 275 on 0 offset wheel

you will always regret not going bigger, lol

Since you have stock replica rims I'd do 275/65/20... 34" tires which is like 10.5" wode roughly.

I'd go 295s. I had the 275/60 on my old Yukon and it drove me nuts how skinny they looked.
