3.90's. I run them with a 29.5" tire. I run 80-85 on the freeway and get 17-19mpg hwy. It's a good gear inbetween 4.10/3.73's for your tire size and driving style.

with heavy 22s (which i have as well) go for the tens man. The difference in rpms is going to be minimal and you need that low end with the heavy rims. 4.10 gears has been the best mod i have done so far
