Default Re: Tire question. Why not this?

Basically, I want to get the 22" and will never go off road, so need a street tire that will not increase ride height.

325/50-22's all the way. Also, they look great in the Terra Grapplers. Our H2's have a lot of space in the huge wheel well. Getting a 33" tire in there will look rather odd - IMO.

Also, be careful about 22's and their affect on braking. I had 20" Lexani VP Off Road wheels with 35/12.50-20 Nitto Mud Grapplers and I had serious issues with stopping distance. That's whey I went with 18's this time. Stoppign these 7,000 pound beasts is hard enough without the added upsrung weight.

So if you are going with 22's I highly recommend forged alloys like WELD Racing due to their strength and lower weight. Be safe.

Thanks. I've heard some people say there's no noticeable difference with the KMC's, so , but I guess I'll ask around a bit more before deciding.

Have you seen this link? It's an H3 but the wheels are black KMC's with 325/50-22 mud tires. Ask him about the ride quality and braking. Who knows, it might work well in this case and the KMC's are lighter.

Yeah, thanks. I did see that one and have heard a few other people say they noticed no significant difference with the KMC's, but I haven't seen anyone go with the 305/45's. The terra grapplers look nice, but if I'm never going off-road, I don't know if I want to deal with the tire noise and extra cost.
