285-45-22 shoes. Which ones?

[lonestarhog]

Im in Nashville where the winters are mild but we will get 5-6 inches of snow at most each year.

I want something year round and most importantly, i want some curb protection. I want to be able to hop over a curb or hit a pot hole and not have a panic attack. They are going on Lexani rims.

Which ones would you put on your car:
- Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza (~$256/each)
- Nexan Roadian (~$165/each)
- Nitto Terra Grapplers (~$328/each)
- Goodyear Fortera (~$275/each)

Nittos IMO. But I also heard good things about the Fortera and the Bridgestones also. Nexen nah I'll stay clear from those.

Button is shareholder but ojo a big rim I'd think it wouldn't look too good

I'm a little confused erik ... the Nitto TG is not a street tire like the rest in your list.

 

[lonestarhog]

I know. I'm confused myself. I don't think the Grappler would look good on those wheels.

Basically, I ended getting those wheels for cheap. I like more of an off road look but this deal was too good to pass up. But I also wanted to make sure nobody has seen that combination and thought it looked good.

I see.

Well, I've had the Bridgestones, the Goodyears, and the Nittos. I see you have the Nittos now so you know them well ... between the Bstones and the Gyears the Gyear is a slightly better overall tire, but rather hard to tell the difference tween the two. The Gyears seem to have better overall reviews so on my last set I figured I might as well spend the extra $100.

I have no experience with Nexen.

Holy crap. I looked online and didn't see anything on the website. Got anything I can take to them to get that price?
