Im in the market for some new rubber in the next days. Tire size I have in mind is 275/45-20. The Grabber UHP seems to have a good price and ive been hearing nothing but good comments about it. Ive also checked several places and seems like tirerack.com has the best price on them. Those that have them, how have they hold up so far? Also my RC/SB Sierra has a 2/4 drop and my old tires were 295/45-20's on 20x9.5 wheels with no rubbing problems. Do you think the 275/45-20 will be to tall and rubb? Any pictures of dropped trucks with the Grabber UHP 275/45-20 would also help me a lot. Thank, Jesse....

275/45 are gonna be a shorter tire than the 295/45 any way you look at it. sidewall height calc... 29.5cmx45%=sidewall of the 295/45.........similarly, 27.5cmx45%= sidewall height of the 275/45

it will be alot of sidewall but if you want a wider tire then you gotta do it i guess....should be good for some traction though. just measure it.. the 275/70 is gonna be about 2inches taller

I'm probably gonna get a set of these too. Probably the 285/50/20's. My main concern is if they ride smooth, I got rid of my lifted truck for the v-max one reason was that I was sick of the bumpy ride. Someone mentioned the ride is almost smooth as stock though, what were your stock tires?
