275/55/20 - anybody running this size tires?

Can anyone who has 275/55/20 (instead of stock 275/50/20) confirm that there are no issues? No ABS issues, no rubbing?

There are a lot more tire choices in 275/55/20, so considering this size, but it would be 1" taller than stock, hence the question.

Stock 20" wheels.

Thanks in advance!

I just got 285/50/20 Michelin Defender LTX - fits just fine with stock 20" wheels and the ride is very nice

I'm running 22x9 AMG Replicas with 285/45 22 Nitto NT421Q.
If I hit a dip in the road hard I can feel a rub in the front, but every day normal street driving or turning it doesn't rub. I know this ain't your tire size, but I thought I would throw that in there as an FYI

I opted to go with 285/50/20 Michelin Defender LTX. These were available at a good price at Costco. I am happy with them. The truck rides nicely. these are installed with the stock wheels that came with Pirelli Scorpion Zero. I believe the 285/50/20 and 275/55/20 are within the 3% tolerance of the stock 275/50/20.

I chose the 285/50/20 defender LTX tires. They are wearing good but are a little noisy. I’m trying to decide if I would buy them again.
