After getting screwed by 4wheelparts.com. I finally getting my rims. Now I am needing tires. I am looking for 305/45R22(wandell excellent advice) Just need to know the best one for the buck.


Offset is 35CM and backspacing is 6.6






These are the ones I am looking at: Falken Ziex S/TZ04 305/45R22






Any advice will be helpful!!

 

I'm very happy with my Falkens. The Nitto's were pretty close in price when I bought mine and they have a good reputation. I went with the Falkens because my tire guy had a distributer with a special on them at the time.

 

Thanks again Wandell. Any trouble with traction in the rain and noisey at all??

 

No. I'm very happy with every aspect of their performance.

 

The answer my friend is Yokohama Parada Spec-X You'll be glad you got these, check out the reviews on Tirerack! I love'em on my 22's and their worth every penny. My next choice would be Toyo Proxes.

 

Yeah I have been going back and forth. What size tire you rocking. I am thinking about this (Wandell you can help again) about going 325/50. BlackoutFX4 is riding on 325/50R22 and the only rubbing when he is in reverse. Just don't like the rubber band looking tires the 45 is looking. If I could go 50 that's another 2-3 inches of rubber. Whatever 35 inches of rubber equal? What yall think??

 

If you have a 4x4, you can probably fit that size by adding a leveling kit up font. Is the tire you are considering a street tire or an off road tire? I'd never lift a truck to fit a street tire.

 

the only 325/50/22 ive seen are the kumho road venture AT....and the nitto terra grappler

 

I also went with the Yoko Parada Spec-X in a 305/45/22 and they are an excellent tire. No close up pics but here is one of them on my Expedition.

I put 2.5 in leveling kit on. And haven't decided what kind of tire I want. I ain't going mudding in it and when the weather gets bad I'm taking the wheels off so...... And catogtp nice looking ride and wheels. So wandell you think the 325/50's would be okay or would the look stupid and hanging out the side to much?? Would 305/50r22 be better? And would there be that much more rubber?? than the 45's??

 

It's up to you as far as the look you want. Personally, if I was gonna go with an off road tire and a 22 inch wheel, I'd want at least a 37 inch tall tire.

 

Thanks again just don't know if going 325/50r22 is really going give more rubber than its worth if it rubs a lot. Crap just don't want to blow $$$ for tires that might rub and the wheel would be easier to replace than what they are asking for the bigger tires.

 

ive never seen a 305/50/22....and ive seen a 4x4 f-150 in person with 325/50/22 with a 2.5" level on it and the guy said it didnt rub he just had to trim the front a tiny bit and thats about it

 

thanks and Toyo all terrain is the only tire I found that way. And I think I am just going to go with 305/45r22. Honestly can't afford 1400 + on tires alone. That's more than my rims. So thanks everyone. When I become rich I rock the 325/50's

 

Newest update had to send them back minor scratches and stuff on them. But they are coming in monday and having them mounted monday tuesday. Posting pics next week
