Non OE size winter tire

[Aag12]

Hey everyone. First time buying winter tires and wheels and have some questions

I recently bought aftermarket 20"wheels and looking for some tires. I originally bought the blizzak lt 275/65/20 tire, but saw the blizzak dm-v2 275/60/20. It's slightly smaller than the oe size 20" but it's appealing since it's lighter (7lbs) and cheaper. Also it's almost identical circumference to the 21" I have, so I wouldn't bother having rivian reprogram the car.

The rating is 115r so rated for 106mph and 10,700 lbs vs the oe spec of h and 130mph. Any concerns I should have with these? I won't be towing. Just headed up the the mountains!

If you already have 21" wheels, then yes, definitely go with the 275/60R20 winter tires. It's an easy swap, no reprogramming required. There are better winter tires than the Blizzak DM-V2 out there (specifically the Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV and the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV) but they may be hard to find.
Best tires for snow & ice

Is lower load and speed rating an issue?

Also, anyone know if tire shops will even mount the tires if it's below oe specs?
