Since I already have very good 275/40R20 tyres on the front, but almost dead 315/35R20 on the rear, I might go for 275/40R20 all round, and then when they are all ready to replace, go for something bigger maybe 295/40R20 all round. And gaining the ability to rotate tyres front to rear will be an added bonus.

Is anyone else running same size all round? Any comments?
If you want to put the 275/40r20 tires in the back to match the fronts you would need to get the same width rims as the fronts to put them on. And I'd stay away from the 295/40r20s as they are a different rolling diameter than the 275/40s and the 315/35s and would cause stress to the drivetrain as the 03 and earlier have regular transfer cases...
