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.

Re: Tire question. Why not this?
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.

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.
