I had a choice to get hit by an 18 wheeler or take the high curb straight ahead at 30 mph.
Bent three rims and 3 tires were ripped/blown out.
It kills me as I really liked the original factory tire package (285 /45 R22 Pirelli SCORPIONS)
and they are listed on the window sticker at $2,100 option.
I was far from the home area and had it flatbed towed to the closet tire dealership.
I bought these 275 /60 R20 COOPER DISCOVERER ATP II tires and wheels.

I don't really like the way they look but live and learn.

I think you made the right decision and congrats on no injuries for you or anyone else.

Too bad about the wheels but your survival was worth it.

Your reaction to the situation was the right one.
Tires and rims can be replaced whereas you can't be!
Your truck took the hit, you didn't ;)

Curious though, what about the rest of the truck: steering, suspension, etc.
A hit like that dead on could have shifted things around and knocked bushings, control arms, etc., out of spec.

Perhaps consider taking it to a good shop with a frame alignment and wheel alignment rack and get it checked just to make sure all is okay with everything else. A few mm permanent shift can make a huge impact on the trucks overall steering and handling characteristics.
