Looking for confirmation:

Presently run 275/45/20. Purchased 18" wheels to run dedicated snows next year. Looking for a little more sidewall and expect my OEM 20s to be shot anyway. Planning on 255/55/18.

Based on a calculator from www.1010tires.com that advises you to stay within 3% of original when changing wheel/tire sizes, I come out okay.

The calculator is a handy tool...tells me my speedo will be a little off, but I can manages that.

Make sense? Am I overlooking anything?

BTW, suitable TPMS for the 2013 lists at 162.00 apiece...
