I'm looking at getting a set of the TBSS 20's to put on my '06 Envoy Denali. My truck currently has the stock 18's with 245/60/18 tires.
In speaking to a friend he said that he used some kind of tire size calculation program, and the tires I would want to put on the 20's would be 245/50/20 or 275/45/20.
He said the 245's a) would match the tires I currently have the closest b) are the same width, but would have a smaller sidewall profile c) would be the closest match d) would be the least expensive choice.
He said the 275's a) would have same profile as 245's b) are slightly bigger in width, like an inch c) would be more money d) would have more road contact. According to him I can go either or... The wheels I'm looking at are MAY03LT's and they currently have 265/50/20's, and my friend says that would not be the right size to put back on them. They need new tires anyway.
My question is to you guys who have experience with these vehicles...what tire size should be on the 20's going on my truck?
Is there going to be a speedo difference? Don't care about a mile an hour...
Any noticeable difference in ride quality, road noise, etc?
