This. I have a 285 with my BFG Comp2 A/S as it is my DD and used them for the crappy weather. No Issues.

Stuffing fat rubber on a wheel that is not wide enough pinches in the sidewall which could create handling issues.
A wider contact patch does not mean better handling. A little tire stretch is always better.
Stick with the 275 or 285 tops. If you have a desire to go wider consider new Wheels.
