Help with tire choice/sizing (2017 Limited)

[supawabb]

I am currently running the stock tires (245/60/20) with approximately 50,000 miles on them. I would like to stay relatively quiet. Do not want to rub as I have no lift. Do not wan to remove mud flaps. I simply want to fill the wheel wells and not have pizza cutters. Do I have to worry about the size on the stock wheels?

Driving is 80% city, 20% gravel roads, dirt, mud. Not concerned about snow.

Options I am looking at:

1) Michelin Defender LTX MS - 275/55/20
Outer diameter - 32.2"
Weight - 38.6lbs
Tread - 12/32nds
Link - MICHELIN Defender LTX M/S - Car Tire | Michelin(R) Canada

2) Michelin LTX AT 2 - 275/55/20
Outer diameter - 31.9"
Weight - 41.3lbs
Tread - 14/32nds
Link - MICHELIN LTX A/T2 - Car Tire | Michelin(R) Canada

3) Michelin LTX M/S 2
Outer diameter - 31.9"
Weight - 37.4lbs
Tread - 10.5/32nds
Link - MICHELIN LTX M/S2 - Car Tire | Michelin(R) Canada

Opinions, thoughts, pros and cons of these over the others mentioned?

neither of those should rub. I like the defender M/S. I have those in the 17" OEM size but swapped out my 20" rims for the 17s

Since you list the weight, have you checked the weight of your original tires? I think they are pretty light. This is why I was looking at 255s when I was considering running my 20s. However, I just threw my take-off ORP 17s last week and it drives so much better. They feel like you are losing a lot more weight than you actually are. Good luck with the choice. Just noting that the truck already drives like it has heavy boots in with the 20s.
