Default Tires for a 2011 Grand Cherokee

I have a 2011 Grand Cherokee that currently has stock Michelin 265/60R18s on it. They are wearing down and I will probably buy a new set this weekend. My local Merchants Tire has a set of Pirelli Scorpion ATR (all weather) in my current size for about $250 each (which from what I have seen online is actually a pretty good deal).

My questions are:
  1. Can I go bigger or wider? I know the 18 means the size of the rim, so that is not going to change, but would 275 or 285 work?
  2. If yes to above, would it screw up my speedometer/odometer? I had a Wrangler when I was in college and I replaced the stock crap with some 31 size tires and my speedometer was about 11 MPH slower than accurate ever since.
  3. Are the Pirellies good tires, or should I get something else? I usually like Michelin, but the ones that came with it when it was new only lasted 40k miles. I expected more out Michelin. I want something with enough tread to be badass on and off road without making too much noise while on the highway.
