Default Help me decide..

Guys help me decide..running a 20x10 wheels...
shud I got for 275/30/20 or 255/35/20...
I tried running 255/30/20 but it was too thin and didn't want to go that route again (blow out)....

How much "beefier" is 255/35/20 and 255/30/20?? If it is going to be the same as 275/30/20 then, shud I just get the 255/35/20? Cheaper by $100

I use to have 275/30/20 IMO is the best set up but lil bit pricy.
I think my next set up will be 255/30/20.
