Question about tires

OldDawg45 · October 8, 2015

Hi folks. I am debating with myself about some new wheels and am torn about size. I have factory 18" wheels on my 2015 GMC Sierra Z71 4x4 that is leveled. I am wanting to go with a larger wheel and have been approached with some 22" factory wheels. With my truck being 4wd, I want stay with an all terrain tire but I don't know of any all terrain tire sizes in a 22" size. Do they make them and if so, what are the sizes?

Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same situation and I've done a bit of research. IMO here are the best options:

1. Hankook dynapro atm 305/45/22

2. Cooper LTZ 305/40/22

Level it and get some 33x12.5x22... Or if your keeping it stock you could get the stock 285/45/22 size in the bridgestone duller at or nitto terra grapplers

Question because I am curious. When living down south and not going off road or dealing with regular winter weather, why buy a 4x4 and put 22's on it? Wouldn't it be better to save the added expense and up front costs which would cover the cost of the rims?

Frankly... I am at a point in my life that I bought what I wanted. My wife an I do a fair amount of traveling up north and also camp a lot. I also hunt and fish.

Thanks for the replies. It has been very helpful.

I fully support buying what "you" want and not worry about what other people think. But for the record, I also have to recommend passing on 22" wheels and going with 20" wheels. There are lots of really nice looking 20" wheels out there, and that size will give you the best blend of Looks and Utility when wrapped in all terrain tires. My Z71 came with 18" wheels, and I'm really considering a set of 20" wheels I like next Spring.
