Default Suggest a Tire Size

I have 22x9 in the front and 22x10 in the rear. Lowering the truck 5-6 with a C notch in the rear. Whats a good tire size for this set up?

Front 265-275-285, 35-40
Rear 285-295-305, 35-40

I thought the 275/40 and 305/40 would be the best set up and be a pretty smooth ride'n truck!
Thanks

Chad

sounds like, it will be sweet setup

just as FYI i was running 305/40-22 on all 4 corners of my burb.... but kept havin issues w/ potholes & the sucky roads here in DFW.
i bumped up to 305/45-22, plus better rims. not entirely sure, the original rims werent adding to the issue.


this just for driving around & having fun/goin fast? or might you be Auto-X too?

Thanks man!
The new shoes are for driving around and when I get my other motor put together (need cash) it will be for speed. No plans of Auto Xing the truck, just low and fast. What size rim were you using?

I can't imagine you can run a 305/45r22 on a 5/6 that sounds horrid. Especially in DFW lmao

When I bought my wheels it was a guy running a 270/40r20 on his 4/6 they were pretty skinny. I know that isn't 22 but it gives you a height idea

I ran 275/35 R20 in the front & 295/35R20 in the rear on my'03 with a 3x4 drop, rode like a Caddy I thought. I mean its a truck right, so it ain't gonna ride like my Wife's GL450.

Sure of course but I meant that sounds awful tall for a 5/6 drop.
Now you are going the opposite way 275/35 R20 sounds awful short for a 3/4 hahaha
