And these are Hankooks Dynapros at2’s. I saw that u asked specifically about these. They won’t sound louder, and won’t kill ur mpg. Decent tires for the price…. 

Excellent. Thank You.

I find the spline lug nuts interesting. I thought you couldn't/shouldn't use them on OEM wheels?

[dfanzz01]

Honestly, 1st time I’ve heard this. Now, I’m no pro here so… do u know why these are not recommended?

I think because the cone is too narrow for the stock wheel seats. At least that's what I was told when I inquired about using 3/8" spacers and spline ET lug nuts.

I misread the OP. I was thinking 305/40/22 being too wide with a 10" min. wheel width.  The 305/45/22 say a 9" min. wheel will work.

Interesting-I’ll make sure and ask next time I go in for tire rotation. I’m not really a fan of the spline anyways. They were way less expensive than OEM. Was already thinking about swapping them soon. But just to confirm, I haven’t had any issue’s whatsoever with them. Thanks again!

Yes, dealer installed. They were shipped with steel wheels. Why don't you go with the 275/50? Is that what you have now? You want wider? Or taller? 

Just so you know, all OEM 22's are dealer installed. Doesn't mean they are not factory OEM. It's the way they do it now so the wheels don't get stolen off the vehicles while in transit. Even my wife's 2019 Traverse OEM 20" wheels were shipped separately from the vehicle and dealer installed.

Correct and true.  They are shipped with steel wheels but any OEM 22" wheel can be purchased through GM accessories and have the dealer or a shop install them.

Would you happen to have a picture of how close your front tire is to the upper control arm? Or could you take one?

Yes! They fit, no rubbing and no modifications needed. I installed them on sierra elevation with OEM 22’s

The truck looks great! Did you do any modifications for tire clearance? 

Im looking to either go 305/34/22 or 285/45/22

I went with Firestone 285/45/22 A/T2 all terrain on my '22 LTZ Z71. Ride great, super quiet and balanced out perfect.

I put a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S in 305/45R22's on yesterday, they ride better than the Bridgestones, handle better and look much better! I did the same size upgrade on my 19 High Country but used Nitto TG's so I knew that I needed a wider and better tire than the OEM Bridgestone's as they were horrible in the snow and rain.

 I'll be honest, I made this account just to ask you to post pictures of your setup.

 

I'm seriously considering sizing up to the 305/45/22 Defenders and would love to see how they look on a 1500 Denali.

Here's some Michelin Defender 305 45 22 on my 23 High Country.  Fuel 22x10 +10 offset.

I put these on when it was brand new so I can't compare to the Bridgestones but it rides pretty nice and quiet
