Default 275/55/20s OK on a bighorn?

I was looking at new tires, and it was going to cost about 160 a piece for the 275/60/20s, but they have the same tire 275/55/20s on clearance for 45 a piece.

Thats $500 cheaper if the 275/55/20s are OK. Looks like about an inch less total diameter, which will lower the car about 1/2" and throw my speedometer off by 3.3%, so maybe its not worth it... but $500... haha...

What do you think?

For $45 each I would not have an issue with a slight speedo offset. Heck, I'd buy 8 of them and stow 4 of them away in the garage for the future.

The only possible issue would be a slightly stiffer ride.

Make sure you also look at the load rating.
