I'm not sure why you would run 255's over the OE recomended sizes, 265/50 is a more widely available standard size than the 255, so the 265 is often cheaper.
There is all of 8-10mm difference between the 265 and 275 yet a huge price difference for jumping up those few mm's.
255S because at the time oe sizes were limited to a winter tyre that cost £250 each. To go up a size was even more money! The 255 were a 'bargain' at £215 ea!
The problem with UK is whilst winters do come in oe sizes, like the Nokia wr suv which I would go for if next time, there are literally no all terrain options at all.
Were there any problems with warranty or transmission? No tyre fitter recommends a different size. Fiat also said no. Don't do it. Whilst I run winters for a couple of months a year. I want all terrains on all year really, and bigger ones at that!
What is the issue with different sizes as long as they are all the same? Obviously spare will need changing... ?!
I already posted this earlier this week but maybe I could get a reply here just invade it was missed. I too have had problems sorting tyres in the UK. Just to add my Jerp has the in cab adjustable suspension so I'm unable to do any form of lift.

Hi people, I'm so sorry if this has been done to death but there is so much conflicting info on here I thought I would still ask.
I have a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude fitted with stock 20" wheels along with 1.25" wheel spacers.
I'm after replacing the stock tyres with Cooper STT PRO's. The size I'm looking at is 275/65R20.
My question is before I buy them will they fit my truck OK?
I really appreciate your input, hopefully from some one who has actually got these fitted.
I'm based in the UK & info here is pretty shit when it comes to modding your Jeep.
Thanks in advance
