ZZZRated Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I'm new here, just picked my SS up last night. What size tires are those of you that have 22's running? I had 305/45/22 on my Yukon, but that seems a little tall for the SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black03SS_NJ Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I'm using a 285/45/22 Toyo and I love them. About .2" taller than stock, and .5" taller than the very popular 305/40. I really like the extra sidewall for curb protection. I think 305/40s look a little short and wide, but that's just my opinion. I think a 305/45 is going to be a little too tall.

ZZZRated Posted June 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Thats kinda what I was thinking too. I've been looking on a few different tire websites, and most reccomend 305/40/22. By the way, you truck looks awsome with those wheels. I was thinking about going with the DAAT DA67 w/black centers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's wierd that everyone seems to recommend the 305/40...I know you'll have a lot more tire choices in that size. I am surprised that those with 305/40s don't have more rubbing problems. My 285/45s rub slightly on the inner fender, before I even get to full-lock. But that's probably because they are taller than stock, rather than the 305/40s, which are shorter, but wider.

r8rs4lf Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Nitto 305/40/22 on 22" X 8.5" Intros here. Very slight rubbing at full turn which I don't feel, only see it in the inner fenderwell. Late- Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 what rims are you running chevy ss and 8.1 ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> American Racing Phantoms. Any problems with pot holes and such? I couldn't imagine going lower than a 40 series tire unless I was bagged. Late- Alex <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The ride is not that bad with the 305/35/23. I haven't had trouble with the tires, I actually found the ride not too much different from the 22s. I plan on lowering and want to make sure there is no rubbing, so I went with the 35 series, but I have to be very very careful around curbs.
