Tire Size?
I am putting 22 inch rims on my truck and I am deciding on which tire size to go with. Either 325/50/22 or 325/55/22 which one would you suggest and why?

Re: Tire Size?
I would go with the larger sidewall. When you have 3.5 tons on them, you need some cushion for objects you may hit with your tires. This gives a little more protection against cutting a sidewall or ruining a wheel.
I think.

Re: Tire Size?
I should be getting mine put on tomorrow. Opted for the 325/50_22 because I had very little room to spare to still fit in the garage. The 50 still fits.

Re: Tire Size?
I have been told that a 325/55/22 will throw off you spedomoter, Abs, and that the tires will rub when you turn the wheel all of the way. The local customization shop recomended the 325/50/22. So I am really at odds???

Re: Tire Size?
It really depends on if you want to fit in a standard size garrage or not. I know a few of us are in the same predicament. I voted for the 325 50's as i think they're a better looking tire.

Re: Tire Size?
Pro's: The 55's would be a cushier ride, less pron to tire damage, "fatter-tire" look and less heat from the hard-core trail guys.
Cons: Well, a bit rougher ride, more pron to tire damage but not much, more of a slick, low-pro look then the 4x4 look.... still heat from the trail guys but not as much!!
Also, the 55's are an inch taller. I dont a rack on mine, and enclosed parking lots are a bit hair-raising at first... i can fit under a 7-2" so far, but that is about it. with the 55's, well, that is an inch closer, for me, to scrap so i dont know.
I guess if i was gonna do it, go for broke and really pas the margin with a 4-6" lift..
