yah or like drew said 285-45-22, would have a little more sidewall.

If you plan on dropping alot dont buy too big of a tire now you will regret having to buy new tires again just to do your drop

After seeing Drew's pic... 305 45 22 might be a good way to go. I would only do a 2-4 at most at that is way down the road. For a while she's gonna be riding at stock stance.

I have (had) 305/40-22 with my 2/4 drop. As said the 285's listed would work and look good too.

Anything over a 295 deserves to be on a 4x4 IMHO

But 4x4's look funny with wide low profile tires.

Not yet. Paint work costs a lot and I have a lot of stuff to get painted, and I have a ton of other things going on with my Daughter getting married soon and all. There is not enough time in the day it seems.

One thing I have found out though is if I keep a tight leash on my wife's wallet while I work entirely too much overtime at work we can save A LOT of money. (been doing that for wedding expenses)

Aren't the 305s gonna follow groves in the road alot more also. My truck hops all over with the 275s. I did talk to a guy that has a Harley and he said his did the same thing with the Pirelli's then he went to a 285/45/22 nexen tires and it rides great now

Yeah I said the same the wider the tire the more the Contact on the road the rougher it will be and will follow the road worse then a narrower tire that's why I don't go over a 275 tire

no bud sunny tires are the cheapest i paid $130 a piece for my 24" tires and i do not recommend them at all i mean they arent a bad tire just a hard time to balance them after i had them road forced balanced on the machine you can see the thread move back and forth a little they dont spin true.
