Why no All-Terrain tire option for the 22's

[strickland604]

I have looked through the ordering guide for the 2019 Sierra and have found no option for All-Terrain tires for the 22" rims.  The current model you can upgrade to All-Terrain tires with the 22" rim.  I also noticed the 18" and 20" wheels on the 2019 have a All-Terrain tire upgrade option.  Just surprises me they are not offering this option for the upcoming models with 22's.

Because 22's are for skating in style down the concrete freeways, so you typically see low-pro street/highway tread patterns. If you off-road with a low-profile sidewall on a 22" wheel, you will damage the wheel eventually. Even my 20's are too big for my liking when doing truck things. I am sure you can buy a BFG KO2 or something in a 22" if you want, but if it is the stock tire size and you run over a 4" rock, say goodbye to your beads. You will find more 22" options when you do to a 33" or larger tire, which would require a level or lift. Let us know what you end up doing.

I was going to post a picture of the chunks missing from my 22 inch rims but it will not work.

 

I think with the AT4 package they want it to be a full off-road package now.

I was looking at the order guide again and the tire size for the 20" rims are 275/60 for both regular and All-Terrain options.  This comes out to 33X10.8 according to my tire size calculator. So are we able to put 33's on without a lift?  I though maybe it was for the AT4 but it looks like this is the standard size unless I'm reading something wrong.   I know on the 22" wheel option the standard tire size is 275/50 which is a 32.8X10.8.

Stock tires are always a POS anyways.  I usually swap them out within 500 miles.  People will buy your tires. I got $400 for my new take off tires.

The LTZ I saw had 275/60r20.  33" no lift.  From the looks of it a lift won't be needed until around 34".  It was said the Trailboss could go up to 35".

I wonder if the Nitto Ridge Grappler or Terra Grappler will fit without a lift?  They are 33.29x11.69

They might, with the new rounded F150 wheel wells. We wont know until we have one on the lot. The AT4 and Trailboss have leveling kits stock I believe so they will probably clear a 33". I have 33x12.5R20's on my current truck with a level and a slight rub. The width is the issue in relation to the factory wheels +27mm offset, not the height. I could probably fit a skinnier 34" with no rubbing, or add a 0.25" spacer to cure the rub with my stock wheels.

From what I can tell the stock tires coming on the Silverado's and Sierra's will be 33X11.2  So I would not think a 33.29X11.69 would be a problem without a lift.  But like you said we will not know until we have one on the lot and can check the clearance of the stock tires.

Pavement princess shoes! Loved reading this while sipping my coffee, I was about to say the same thing.


Hooksets are free...

One hit wonders and it cost $2800 CAD to replace just two rim plus tire.

That sucks dude, I loved Canada when I visited. They have some crazy prices on importing it seems like. And tobacco/alcohol was crazy expensive too compared to home, guess that’s partly how the healthcare works like it does though. Beautiful country though, I’ll be back again next year for a visit!

Yes we did this in Kentucky lol..  Seems they like to stick the storm drains way out in the lane not paint them or provide any lighting.  I just clipped it I guess we were lucky it didn't flip us like it apparently does 4 or five times a year according to the locals in that area.

My 2013 has 17" wheels and I love them. I drive off road to get firewood so more rubber around the wheel is better. As bad as our roads are getting (potholes), more rubber works better there too!
