Tires for 2023 Sierra Denali Ultimate

DenaliUltimate · February 20, 2023

I have a brand new 2023 Sierra Denali Ultimate and want to replace the factory tires with a more aggressive set. Maybe an all-terrain (Nitto, BFG??) What is the largest tire that will not cause issues and fit on 22s without spacers or leveling?

Here's what I have learned, after researching the same question for several months.

The 22" wheel does not allow for a lot of sidewall, so there are not as many All Terrain options as there are for say 20" or 18" Tires.

Nitto has several options in 305/45r22 that fits, according to several threads already started (hint) on the subject. BFG KO All Terrain does not fit without a front level - as they only do 35/12.5/r22 in that size. With the lift, the Upper A Arm has very tight clearance, still might need a spacer. The BFG option would be the Trail Terrain TA, in 275/45r22.

There are also 285/55r22 and 285/55r22 options that fit.

Happy hunting!

305/45R22 (33x12) will fit and is about as wide as you can go without hitting the UCA. The 12" wide tires look right on these trucks as the 275's look too narrow. Some 33x12.5 will just make it, but it's a crap shoot.

I went with 305/45R22 Hankook DynaPro AT2 Extremes (RF12's). Couldn't be happier with this choice.
