Default Bought 22x9 Stingray III today! what tires?

As the title says I ordered new wheels today for my CC and want some suggestions on tire sizes and brand. I currently have installed Belltech hangers and turned the tourtion bars down 3 turn to make it sit level. I will most likely be installing 2 inch drop spindles and a pair of shackels to give it a 2/4 drop. So I wanted to keep this in mind. I will drag race my truck in 4wd so not to concerned about a sticky tire.

Thanks on the leed, that is the cheapest price I've seen. I was looking a BFG KDW2's for 250.00 each. GMCHammer what size wheels do you have? What do you have for a drop?

GmcHammer your truck looks good! Thanks for the info. Centerlne has to make the wheels for me and they said it would be about three weeks before I see them. Once they arrive I'll weigh them and let you guys know.

I ordered BFG KDW NT's in 295/45r22's. They were a little more than the general grabber uph but I like the brand and tread design. I bought the tire warranty with them for 35.00 a tire. I figured the warranty was worth the money because I have hit a pot hole before and broke the cords in the side wall of the tire. These tires cost to much not to get it for the little extra money in my opion.
