Black03SS_NJ Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I love my 285/45 Toyos, just right IMO. A little more sidewall for protection than a 305/40 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Nevermind, I see that they are 9.5" wide. Mine are 8.5" wide. Edited September 8, 2006 by r8rs4lf (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonmalibuss Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I think my next set of tires will be slightly staggered, I think i'll stick with the 305/40/22's up from on the 10" wide wheels but in the rear I am thinking of steping it up to a 325/40/22. I figure it's only 2% difference and the truck shouldn't see that, besides I don't think my ABS works any more which is ok with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black03SS_NJ Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Do you have a close up pic of those tires? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are a couple of decent ones in my garage. I know I have some better ones at home, I'll take a look and post. I went with the 285/45 because I thought the 305/40 looked a little short and fat on a non-lowered truck, and I don't plan on lowering mine. Being from the NE, I wanted the extra .5" height.

misterp Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 (edited) thats not going to be very accurate since your running those tiny dubs. Sorry - thought 295s on a 8.5" wheel was relevant even though it's a 20" rim. I'll just leave you guys alone with your wagon wheels. Mr. P.

emperor72 Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Toyo makes a 265/40/22 and a 285/40/22. Both would work on an 8.5 rim. They also have a "lip protector" built into the tire. Id have a look at those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posi12Bolt Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Dunlop 305/40/22's and love em!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8rs4lf Posted September 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I was talking to someone and they told me that the series number (305/40/22) is a percentage of the tire width. Does anyone know the difference between the sidewall height of a 305/40/22 and a 285/45/22? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I'm going to be needing some new rubber soon and figured I might as well start looking now. I was just wondering if any of you wished you had gone with a different size? The brands don't really matter to me since I'll probably end up going with the same Nittos unless I find a better deal on another brand. Currently I have Nitto 404's in a 305/40/22 on 8.5" rims. The tire actually sticks out past the rim a little when I turn, but other than that, I like the way it looks. It fills up the gap between the tire and the fenders. Some people think I have a flat sometimes because of the way the tire looks on a narrow rim. I was thinking of going with a 285 or 295, but I don't want my rim sticking out past the tire. The protection these 305/40/22 gives my rim against curb rash is great, not like I rub these Intro's against the curb anyways. Also, I have zero rubbing issues with my current size. Any suggestions? Anyone have profile pics of a 285 or 295 on an 8.5" rim? TIA Here is a pic of what my tire looks like currently. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Looks good to me, is your truck also lowered? If so how much and what did you use to lower it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
