It would depend on the sidewall. Thinner sidewall means a harsh/rough ride. Bigger sidewall, less harsh.

I have a 2/3 drop on 285-45-22's and i'm very happy with my ride.

Stock height on 22" 285/45/22

Get some 285/55/22

I’m a little naive here. The 2/3 drop is referring to the height from front to back for leveling? Thx for pics!!!

2/3 drop means lowered 2” in front and 3” oin back

‘12 Escalade Premium with factory 22’s and stock tire size here. I wouldn’t say the ride is harsh but it is firm and that’s even with new shocks all around and the rear lowered (level with the front). But considering I came out of a Silverado running on 33’s with 20” rims just about anything would be harsh.

"Harsh" depends on what you are use too, just like exhaust tones. If you are use to factory "non-sport" vehicles and you have terrible, non-smooth roads, then moving to a 22 with might feel "harsh" to you.

Me, I'm from a modded chevy family where all the men drive 60's, 70's trucks with 30 yr old heated springs, hitting bump stops, 6" wide wheels in the front, 383 stroker/400ci huge cam small blocks, 90's silvys with 4/6 drops and 2 chamber flow master exhaust, so any thing is smooth and quiet compared to that.

If you ahe moving from 20 to 22's, you will probably feel more of the road and your butt meter may see that as more harsh.

I like the firmness ( 305/35/24 on my 07) as im use to being low and not being so disconnected with the road.

Thx for the reply.
I’m wanting to mount the new OEM Denali wheels to my 07
And use the factory wheels that I have for winter driving
If I mounted the 22s and leave it at stock height from what I gather I’ll get some rubbing in the inside frt Wells?
