Mechanic Tip
Cold Inflation Calibration Rule: Tire pressure drops roughly 1 PSI for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit drop in ambient temperature. Furthermore, driving even 1 mile generates internal friction that raises tire pressure by 3 to 5 PSI above true ambient resting level. Never set your tire pressure to the "Max PSI" molded on the tire sidewall, which indicates the maximum mechanical burst rating of the casing. Always calibrate tire pressure when the vehicle has rested for at least 3 hours, matching the cold PSI specified on the yellow-and-white driver-side door jamb placard.

295/60R2033.9″11.6″7.0″

Diameter grows +2.9%. Width grows +7.3%. At 60 indicated on a truck calibrated for the 275, the 295 is doing 61.7 mph actual. The speedometer is not why people make this swap. Stance is.

When this pair shows up

275/60R20 is stock on a lot of 20-inch F-150 and Ram packages. 295/60R20 is the next common 20-inch width that still sits near 33 inches. If you wanted height instead of width, stay on 275 and read 275/65R20 vs 275/60R20.

Wider needs a wider wheel

A 295 section usually wants more rim width than a 275. The rim window page is that range. Offset and fender clearance are still on you.
