Proper tire sizes for 22's
I placed an order for a set of 22's. The wheels are 22X10.5 & 22x12's.
Ive searched around and have seen that majority of you guys run 295/30's in the front and 335/25's in the rear. Using a tire fitment calculator and looking at pics of various people setups, you can see the front tire is taller than the rear. There is about a 5mm difference in ride height between the two. If you run a 285/30 the front is just under 2mm taller. This seems to be the preferable size to run, BUT ive yet to find a match front and rear brand of tires accept for Pirelli P Zero's and spending over $1600 on the rear tires alone doesnt sound too fun to me. Im going to assume the difference in tire height with the 295/335 combo isnt enough to do any harm to the transfer case or transmission as its been a common setup for many. If anyone has any further input on this that would be great. Right now i'm just looking at running the 285/335 setup with continental DWS in the front and Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico's in the rear. I know many are against running mismatched brands so im looking for second opinions. thanks in advance

I've only heard of setups running 295, not 285, as well. What wheels are on order?

...vredenstein is the tire company you want, they make a set of tires that are SUV rated And all summer285-335 for reasonable amount. Your rolling diameter what you should be conserided with is less than 1 percent between the front And back....
