The 275/60's would look good as they would fill up the wheel wells. There is
plenty of room on the rear, might be tight on the front. However, this is
the tire size the Durango R/T's come with. So, shouldn't be a problem.

You will have a little less off the line. Other than that, not much.

I have the Dunlop Sport Rover GTX's in a 255/55/17. All I can say is lots
of grip. Very hard to break the rear end loose now. Also, very repsonsive.

Don't know off hand.
