I just put on some 285/45r22s with a drop, believe its about a 2/4 drop on the 2002 silverado 1500.  I did run into some issues with rubbing due to some old worn out button grommets that hold on the wheel wells and behind the driver side tire the parking brake not being in the stock location pushing the wheel well forward enough to rub.  its a 1/2 - 3/4 inch gap when everything is buttoned down in its intended position after the truck has been lowered.

 

I like it, the 285 width looks just right on a 9.5" width BOSS 344's.

I have the Goodyear Fortera SL tires in 285/45R22. I’m on my second summer with them. They are not a great all season tire, but I live in Canada and have Michelin Xice tires for winter, so it didn’t matter to me. Price was much less than the Nitto Terra Grappler (which I had previously and I highly recommend them).

I just got a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 4s installed in 285/45/r22 a few weeks ago and they have been great. I think they look better then the stock tires, no difference in road noise and seem to be better in the rain. They are 3 peak mountain rated but won't be running them in the snow as I have snow tires.

I manage a large tire/auto shop and based on what you are after go with the Michelin Defender LTX MS in the stock size, highly highly recommend that if you want a really solid all season that is quiet and will last.

 

If you want something a little more aggressive...

 

1. Nitto Terra Grappler G2 - Still a P metric so you would won't kill mileage and seem to be one of the quieter all terrain options. 

 

2. Falken Wildpeak AT3W - Same deal as the Nitto, have had a lot good feed back on it. 

 

Some other all terrains I'd look into would be the new Toyo Open Country AT3 or the General Grabber APT. I don't have enough/any experience with these yet - just based on the initial reviews have been. 

 

But if you want quiet, comfort, longevity... basically the whole package. Go with the Michelin Defender. 

 

Hope this helps.

this size tire sucks. there is a very limited supply. 

the only one I have found that may work for you is the nitto terra grappler g2.

i am in a similar situation. 

i am looking at 20" wheels for the simple fact there are many more tires to choose from

Sure there are more 20" options but I wouldn't say there's a limited supply on the 285/45R22. 35-40 solid options available

I have the exact same truck and want to go to the 285/55/22 instead of the 285/45/22. What are the brand and model of the tires on your truck?

these are Nitto TerraGrappler G2s on GM CK-158 chrome replicas. Post pics when you get them mounted, not many of these setups on here.

Ok cool,I will post my existing setup today and my new setup when I buy them.... Did you have to place spacers on the rims or can you make a u turn without them rubbing?

No spacers. A bit of trimming needed at the inside and back of wheel well. One side still runs slightly at full lock.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
