lt265/70/17 upgrade to lt275/65/18 worthwhile
Title pretty much says it all. Wondering if anyone has gone from lt265/70/17 to lt275/65/18 and seen any benefits? I am well under the limits of the 17s but since I need new tires want to look at all ...

It is safe to run nearly anything at or near max load capacity, until it eventually fails.
Better to have too much than not enough, or just barely enough.
A good plan to follow is, if you're running something at greater than about 75% of it's maximum capacity, for greater than about 50% of the time, then you need a bigger something, whatever it is, if you want it to last.
If it's a cheap throw-away, then run it full bore, full time, let it self destruct, and replace it when it's done.
