275-80 will work. It slightly lower
275-80 = 220
295-75 = 221.25 all in milimeters

Just check max load on tire. all other not much difference.

On tires the 1st number is the tread width in mm. The second number is the height of the sidewall in % of treadwidth.

PS, michelin doesn't make a 295 tire. Only 275.

[lonestar16]

I'm going to throw a wrench in this, if a ProStar or LoneStar, I would go with a 16 ply steer over a 14 ply steer. Those front ends are heavy. Just my .02 ;-)
