As someone with 20" wheels I would recommend 18" wheels if you do anything off pavement. No comparison in ride quality. You will get a little more body roll with a 18" wheel. There are no benefits to a 22" whatsoever beside looks. They are heavier, ride worse, poorer economy, more expensive tires, less tire options, less rim protection, less traction etc. 

There are no benefits to a 22" whatsoever beside looks!  100% truth to that!

I picked these 22 denalis locally for $700.
I like the look. I drive 99% pavement.
22 is leaning against the 20s,not installed yet, not till spring time. 8baa8c940759ae920bb46f3538a970d7.jpg1f8b6cfd3706da973c593adaa60a4f20.jpg

I like the look of 22s much better, and the ride difference is extremely minimal if at all

The look is preference as I disagree strongly, but I'm ok with 20s on a bigger/ newer half ton. 

 

The ride difference however is noticeable.  You ASSume it's extremely minimal, I swapped out Cooper AT3 4s 275/60/r20 (33)tires for Cooper AT3 4s 285/70r17s (32.65) and felt the result justified the cost, it no longer rides harsh.  Percentage wise comparing rubber, the difference between 22 and 20 would be almost the same. 

 

If you live somewhere with less than perfect roads like I do, it is noticeably better.

Slower acceleration, worse mpg, worse ride...all for a wheel that I looks goofy and screams I don't use my truck as a truck.  Save the big wheels for SUVs.

I don’t ASSume anything. You ASSume the experience I have with this. I’ve run 20s /22s on several trucks so i know from EXPERIENCE the ride difference is minimal.

"Screams I don't use my truck as a truck" [emoji23] My lowered truck on 22's is a full time service vehicle (money maker). It also tows an 8,000lb 24 foot racecar trailer up and down the East coast. So how do you use your truck "as a truck"? 346ed87953d419d15cb65591ac407629.jpg

And I disagree with you as well. I removed 18's for 22's and can't tell any difference in ride and I'm savy on ride quality, vibration, and harshenss. We have good and bad roads here and I'm extremely satisfied with my 285/50/22 Michelins.

I never knew a wheel size judged the ability of using a truck as a truck or not lol

And your point?  What have you done to your truck? Can you share pics?  What's the benefit in lifting a truck 6", putting flat black rattle can looking wheels with agressive Grapplers when the truck never goes off road?

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
