Does this size (275/55/20) fit a 2015 stock Altitude (Laredo)? I am trying to figure out the max size without any rubbing. Searched the threads with no luck. I was interested in the Michelin Defender LTX M/S, they don't come on 275/50/20 like the Premier does. They don't come stock size, at least on Discount Tire (265/50/20), but I wanted to go wider anyway.
The Michelin Defender 275-55-20 w/1.5 spacers rub on the front of the fender molding when turning. I will remove the spacers hoping that solves the issue ('15 Altitude).
Update: No rub without spacers. I left the 1.25 on the rear.
If I had to guess I'd say 90% of the people who bought this size reported rubbing at full lock over bumps. This could lead to some damage especially at higher speeds. Personally I wouldn't take the chance.
From what I understand if the tire is less than 32.1 “ dia it will not have a problem.

I liked the Overland so much I didn’t really notice they had Goodyear Fortera’s on. Put them on my last Tahoe that I had for 13 years and I change them after 33000 miles. Think I would of learned!!!
My forteras are about done at 32,000 miles and regular rotations and correct pressures. I'm hoping to make it through the winter and buy something in the spring but if there's a deal to be had for some 20s with a good warranty I'm in.
