What profile tire would be best for 22"s?

jepping26 · Dec 5, 2024

Looking to get some black 22" wheels for my wife's new Yukon XL Denali. Its a 2023, what does everybody recommend for tire size and even specific tires? I dont want a huge profile on the tire but still need the tires to be good in the snow (I live in Wisconsin). Any pictures of what you guys have and/or any info would be appreciated!

Also, looking for cool little ideas of smaller things to have painted/tinted. Grills, logos, tailights, etc. Send pics is possible.

Welcome to the forum from Virginia. For tire size go with OEM, Assuming it came with 22’s. Your rig is set up for it.

Mine actually came with 20’s. 275/60/20. Too much tire in my opinion

Sorry, no recommendations until you post pics of the truck!

LOL Pics are a requirement here.

The OEM tire size for the 22" wheels is 285/45x22. If it were me, I'd stick with the 20" wheels, as it will result in a smoother ride overall, because of the taller sidewall, yet still provide better handling than a 60 sidewall. To fill out the wheel well for 20" tires, I converted to 305/50x20 with no rubbing.

Regarding tires, I'd recommend Michelin Defenders. They are a bit pricey, but will last for 70,000 miles, quiet, great on dry and wet surfaces, and have easily handled any winter weather that NH can throw at them.

Sorry, I assumed 22’s. As Joe stated the factory size is the way to go. I have an 07 Yukon Denali with 305/40/22 and a Sierra Denali with factory 22’s and 285’s. The Sierra has a much smoother ride.
