More durable/affordable tire option?

We should probably decide by Friday, lots of good points made, does anyone else have thoughts here? IMO the 245 is the perfect combo of OD size vs value vs load rating, 17x9.5 won't be an issue, if the tire doesn't extend past the wheel though it may result in wheel contact vs tire contact. 275 may be good for damage insurance :-/

I'm curious to see what tire temps would run on a 245 vs 275 in the middle of summer.
