Agree on the Michelin defenders. Got mine last year and love them. I think our trucks look great and still ride good on 20” wheels. 275/60/20 for me as well. Gives it a good stance.

Beyond pricing for the tires, as already mentioned, there is a trade-off. The fine line is your preference with the look, versus ride quality. A larger diameter wheel is going to typically be heavier. Pair that will a smaller profile tire, and the plush ride you had with your 17's is gone. I've been through this with both of my Tahoe's as well as my 2010 Denali, where all 3 ended up on 22" wheels. I gave up the soft ride for the look.

Just something to think about for your own sake.

275/60/18 specs vs the OEM 16 on my 2001:
