Mods If this is the wrong place please move it.

Looking to replace the tires on our 16 Yukon XL. We live on a dirt road on top of a mountain (Ozarks not Rockies) and the 2 miles to pavement wore out the factory junk pretty quick. We also tow occasionally so we replaced them with Toyo AT 2s but after 30k or so they are wearing out. Looking to replace them with Bfg KO2s but I'm thinking about going with the 265 55 E's instead of the 275 55 D's. My hope is the 10 ply will hold up better. Not worried about a rougher ride or road noise My LBZ has Toyo MTs so anything will be smoother and not as loud. My worry is the 265s are 1/2" taller and slightly narrower than the 275s. Anyone know if they will rub on a stock height yukon xl with stock wheels? Just want something that will last on the dirt and will do well in the winter.

Thanks for any help you guys can give.

I know we are comparing 2 different body styles, but I went from a 265/70/16 to a 275/60/20 on completely stock suspension on my '05. @Bigbeardenali1992 did the same on his NBS. I don't foresee any issues going narrower and only 1/2" taller

I did the same. Although when I first mounted 20s on my 2006 I went with the stock 275/55 series tire first. Then decided that I didn’t want to go back to my 17s for the winter so I scoured CL and found my 275/60 series tires. I’m on stock non modified suspension and there’s no rubbing or issues. @Xzaq103 , I think you should be fine.
