Going from 20s to 22s anybody regret it

[shreff86]

I have a set of 20s I bought for my truck and put less than 700 miles on them they look nice but just not as much wow as 22s bring to the table I will be running oem sized bridgestones on either size. My question is has anyone went from 20 to 22 and regret it? If so could you share why you would switch back or maybe you wouldn't

You will when you have to buy tires

The tires aren't that much more than 20's. 22's look awesome, but you will lose a little mileage and have a very slight stiffer ride. You need to weigh those choices for yourself. I have 22's on my 2wd Yukon, and will keep my 20's on my 4wd Sierra for the off road capabilities.

you should get your trucked timed when you get bigger wheels. as in rotations per minute (i think?) you'll save on tires and gas mileage. because you have bigger wheels it takes longer to rotate them.

I have the gm factory 22s and I like them better than the 20s that came stock on my 15 Denali. Obviously looks a lot better and I think the bridgestone tires are awesome.

 

I haven't noticed any mileage drop and my speedo seems to be still on. I went with the oem tires

I love my 22s on my Denali. It was the first thing I did after buying the truck. No regrets and they look great.

My gmt900 Denali xl rode like crap after putting oem 22s with bridgestones...

I went from stock 18s to 22s with bridgestones.. Even leveled out, the truck still rides great. You really think they would put GM 22s on these trucks if it rode that bad?

There are always tradeoffs... And opinions. I had auto ride... Much firmer than these trucks. Loss of sidewall really sucked in my case.

I hated to really lose much in the ride I mean a little is one thing but if it was really harsh and cut into the fuel mileage were my concerns and knew there has to be some that have done it

[Luster]

On these new trucks, there is very little difference in ride quality. I run 20's in the winter and 22's in the summer. The difference is really negligible in my opinion. No difference in fuel economy. Exactly the same. Because the tires are exactly the same diameter.

 

When you go to replace the tires it will cost you $100-$200 more with 22's for a set of 4.

 

But if you like bling.....

Where you might see a difference in ride quality is if you elect to replace the factory shocks with bilsteins. Otherwise like luster said.
