255 / 60 R20 for sure
275 / 55 R20 mixed results. Very little clearance for any snow, Ice or mud build up without trimming wheel well liners.

275/55 R20 is OEM size option. 31.9"

Many many tires in this size. Many folks run this size. I run this size in my winter set. It is listed in owners manual as a size option (for winter tires) No issues running OEM size tires.

265/55 R20 is the wrong tire. Too small. 31.4" Yes it will fit as it's needlessly too small.

Spacers not relevant here.

I run 275/55-20 which are the same diameter as oem but a bit wider. I also run 20x8.5 whels with +25 offset and zero rubbing anywhere at anytime.

I ran the 275/55/20 Duratrac RTs in the winter this year on my 2025 110, no issues, no rubbing. I live in Atlantic Canada and there were no issues with ice or snow build up or rubbing either, during the winter.

Nice looking rig and thanks for posting the pictures. How happy are you with the Duratrac RT's? Big difference from stock in road noise?

Bumping this thread so see how folks are liking the Duratrac RT. Are you running XL or E rated? TIA

Ditto, I’m shopping for tires, with those on the short list and I’m also interested in owner feedback. Those Wrangler Duratrac or the Nitto Grapplers. Wonder about noise level or drone at highway speed, and load and speed rating.
