The 275/60's are 1" taller and the Wrangler is really a 4WD tire and it's on my 2WD truck. The LS's only have a wear rating of 300 I think, they are soft and wear out in about 30K miles with no burnout's eat them up. The Wrangler has a wear rating of 440 (I think), harder rubber, doesn't grip ar well. My Wranglers will be worn out in about 30K (not that I've ever done a burnout), then I'll have to figure what tire I want too. I've had expensive tires and cheap tires, not much difference to me but that's just me. Seems like the better the tire handles, the softer the compound and they will wear out quickly. Buy what you think will give you long wear and good grip.

I figured I could get the tires online but then you have to pay shipping and then get them installed. Amercia's Tire has the 305/50R20 GTII's for $187 each installed, that's the cheapest around here.
