18"s, 20"s or 22"s tires for Tahoe

[TheAutumnWind]

20-22" should ride ok. More wheel than that means smaller sidewall for the tires and likely a noticable decrease in ride quality.

Most people that go to taller tires tend to go with offroad tires with stiffer sidewalls and aggressive tread. Those things will impact ride quality.


A quality 2/3 or 2/4 drop with free travel mod can reduce that gap and not effect the ride negatively.

24's and 26's we both needed leveling kits to get turning radius back with out cutting lol

The bigger the tire the better it looks that's for sure. Decisions, decisions, decisions... I'm probably just going to go with 20's and drop my truck a tad bit to fill most of the gap. At least that's what I'm thinking right now. Tomorrow that might all change lol. I'm very indecisive when it comes with my Tahoe.

I'm running factory 22's with 285/45's on them and they are very comfortable. Turning radius is incredible.

Top are 22s with 285 and bottom are 20s with 275 all on stock suspension, I bought the truck with the stock 17s came home and put on the 20s didn't feel much in difference, went to 22s and I will say the speed bumps and potholes feel a little harder.

I'm going with 22's. They just look great and from what I've read throughout the net they ride good except like you said bumps ect. I'm going to keep the 18's for the rest of the winter and change to 22"s during spring.

I have the escalade 22s on my hoe but I will say I just dropped over $900 for new destination le2 tires. The 20s are definitely cheaper if that is something of concern.

3/5 drop and 24's, run 305/35r24. Rides good for me

I have 22's with 305/40/22 and lowered 3 in back 2 in front. I just got a new set of wheels and tires and got rid of directional tread tires in favor of all season. The first set rode a little rough but the new set up rides like when it was stock. I'm guessing your Tahoe is an 09 so don't forget to look at your springs and shocks. The 3" rear drop is done with springs so that took care of that and the front has drop spindles. I'm at 112k miles and getting ready to replace my front shocks/struts. Good luck lots of good advice on here.
