hi
just had question about tire. currently i have 22 wheel with 305/40/22 tire i m planning to powder coat my rim and just thinking of getting new tires. well went to couple of places to look at tires some places recommend 285/45/22 and 305/45/22. my tahoe is stock height. whats the big difference? will the tire affect my towing ability? i just want a tire that has less gap and still have same towing ability as stock so which should i go with? please help me decide~

 

If you have the correct off-set for the 07's I recommend 285/45/22. Thats what Im running and they run smoother than the 305's did.

I'm running the Nitto 285/50R22's with a Rancho Quick Lift on the front and thankfuly so. It is tight - tight. I also had to trim about an inch off of the rear inner fender where it bulges for the shock bolt. It rubbed bad when I loaded the boat trailer. Just an inch cured it. Up front it nearly rubs the front outer edge on the inner fender when cranked inboard & the rear outer edge has rubbed about 1/3 of the way in on the back of the inner fender when cranked and backing over a bump. Just gotta be cautious how we drive in some instances now...
Hope this helps your decision.

 

thanks for the input well found out that my momo wheel offset is 20 so can i go with 285/45/22 ?

 

I have the 305's (Falken Ziexon mine and I'm not entirely pleased with the ride quality. I will definitely go to the 285s when I have to buy rubber next time. I also get a little rubbing in the rear under load.
