Default 275-70-17 tires

I have 245's on my Ram 1500 2 wheel drive with 4.7 and I found a deal on some 275's. Any problems with the size change? They are LT 275's....will they be noisier and will my gas mileage suffer with the wider tires.

Just out of curiousity, what kind of deal did you get on the 275/70R17's? I work at TREADQUARTERS, in Virginia which is a Discount tire company, I'm just curious.
Your changing from a 245/70R17 to a 275/70R17, the only size your going to see is really the outside tread of the tire, I mean you'll notice a slight difference, especially if your truck is stock height. But there will be no issue, just a little bigger tire. Does that answer your question???

I have the Goodyear Wrangler AT/S LT275/70R-17 on my truck that I would love to sell to you
Treads probably only at 95% if that.

I switched from P245/70R17's to LT285/70R17's, and while I love them (BFG AT/KO'S), I've lost about 1.5-2.0 mpg.
