Tire Reviews Thread for 22'' Wheel

[Shadow17]

Wow, I like those!
Do they rub at all? I really wouldn’t need the 305 width. But they do appear to be more off road worthy than the Michelin’s.
How are they in wet conditions? I need a good boat launch tire.

Actually just ordered a set. Reviews sound good and I like the design.

UPDATE: So I had the 305's installed. It is without a doubt a sweet looking tire!
It has a tad bit more road noise. But nothing that would even change my opinion of the tire. Once I turn the stereo on, I can't even hear them with the windows opened/closed.

The one issue I have is that they do rub the mud flaps right dead center when the wheel is turned halfway in. I am going to try running a grinder over the plastic to see if I can remove the edge. I hated to go back to the 285 if I can get the 305 to fit with minor grinding. The 305 is a nice, meaty looking tire and provides more payload handling. Plus they were cheaper than the 285's!

I wonder if a 2" leveling kit as mentioned above would also help? I would hate to screw up the ride, magnetic suspension, and/or the rear air suspension though by throwing the body geometry off.

I have had no issue with them in wet conditions. I have heard in rub maybe twice slightly when cut hard in reverse, nothing for concern. I dont have mud flaps. Happy with the tire.

I ground the mud flaps down tonight.
Much better. It is really tight though.
Totally worth it.
The tires are bad ass.

I just put the factory size (285/45/22) Nitto Terra Grapplers on my wife’s rig. Also put a 1.5” leveling kit on it (Suspension Maxx).

I was really shooting for the 305’s, but ultimately chose the 285’s due to how close the factory tires were to rubbing the fender liner. And, the leveling kit litterally does nothing for gaining more clearance for slightly larger tires. I just didnt want to mess around with any rubbing issues. Also, we have 5 months worth of driving on the snow, and the 285’s will perform better no doubt... been there, done that... anything wider than 285’s starts skating around a lot easier.

We really like the tires so far, although we only have a few hundred miles or so on them. They are a fair bit more audible than the original slicks, but certainly nothing annoying by any means. The more aggressive looks and better performance is well worth listening to a slight hum... thats how you know their working.

Love the leveling kit. I actually thought of lowering the back of my Sub because I don't like the rake. What leveling kit did you use?

Oh, and nice color and wheel choice

Would also be nice not to catch the air dam on every dang curb.

I wanted to lower the back as well... but the wife put the cabosh to that shit lol. She liked the idea of lifting the front though so thats the route I had to go.

The leveling kit is a Suspension Maxx kit.

Surprisingly, we never had that issue with hers before the leveling kit.

Mine. 305 with some grinding of the mud flap.

So did you end up doing any leveling kit, or no?
