Default 07 NNBS got new wheels and tires today

they are American Racing Black Trench's 22" with Nanking 265/35/22 tires.

Good so far. I guess you have to scuff them up a little cause I got on it about 55 MPH and the let loose about 5500 RPM

Thanks fellers. The reson I didn't go bigger on the tires is that I was concerned about the wheel & tire weight. I didn't want to totally kill the gas mileage, lol. these tires are 11" wide. they had some 285/35/22 tires that where 12.8" wide. that would have really looked good, but they might have rubbed the finder well while turning. I just went to see allan and got the speedo recalibrated. the diameter is 29.3". That is shorter than the stock tires which are 30.6". The new tires sure do let go a lot easier than the stock ones. Is this common? do you think a wider tire fix it, if it becomes a problem?

i think your width is ok its your sidewall im worried about... your sidewalls wont give at all which imo makes it harder to get traction... when you see them guys wit the tire wrinkle i was always under the impression that that helps alot more wit traction... not having much side wall makes that harder.
street traction is tough, there arent very many tires that wont break loose when you are on the street w/o heatin em up
if i mash the gas in my Sierra i can just forget about it lol.. of course im running like 255 michelin xterrains
