What is the factory ET on the 22's?I am looking at the same options for tires with my stock 22”s the best option I found is the nitto ridge grappler with the 285 50 22’s
I had the truck looked at and there is very little space so you can’t go wide with the factory offset on the wheels
I hate my stock 22 rubber. I can't wait till they wear out.
me either!! I've read reviews on them and they are horrible. I'll ride them out and go to something else later
Over 7,000 reviews on 1010 tire. 4.6 out of 5. Not horrible as far as I read. I can't find a reason to rate them "horrible".
Goodyear Eagle Touring 285/45/22 XL??? I respect that you found those great reviews. I hate the tires as well as the low mileage ppl are reporting before having to replace them. I never heard of 1010 because I use tirerack............I'm looking right now and don't see Goodyear Eagle Touring. Send the link so I can see what mileage ppl are saying they're getting before replacement because the tire has no mileage guarantee.
Specifically, my issue is ....they don't last. I've had a number of trucks with 22 inch rims and I can get great mileage out of them. The re
Tirerack has a 4.1 rating (only 12 reviews). On my quick Google Search 1010 tire came up it 4.6 with 7,344 reviews but the link doesn't pull up the reviews, sorry.
For the most part 22's are performance tires which aren't known for long mileage. I replaced my corvette tires at just over 8,000 miles. Cords showing -- Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2
All you did was make an already rough ride worse. The new body style GM trucks ride terrible in all configurations compared to their ancestors. The 2014 and newer Z71 models were known for having a particularly more harsh ride than the standard 4X4 model. I would say even the coil sprung RAM 2500 rides better stock for stock. D and E rated tires will definitely firm up the RAM 1500's ride but not to that point. I would recommend riding in one with D or E rated tires before passing judgement. I think you'll be surprised. Not trying to say anything negative about your old ride but I've been in your shoes and its no secret that GM really firmed up the ride on the 2014 up trucks trying to compete with Ford on payload and towing capacity.I had Nitto Terra Grapplers G2 with 22s on my GMC I just sold. That experience led me to never do that again. For me.....For me, it ruined the ride. Those E rated tires felt like the run flats that came on my BMWs. They were extremely heavy, non-forgiving because they have little flex when needed for small potholes or irregularities.
I don't say that to change anyone's mind..........just speaking from my own experience. Attached is the truck. Leveled front end with Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks, Nitto Terra Grapplers, and Denali 22 inch replica rims. I know it's a Ram forum....but wanted to show that you can do 22s with Nittos. It road excellent on highways, I'll admit and I got alot of compliments. I love the look
good luck

I respect your opinion. Please know that GMC is not the only truck I've ridden in with E rated tires. I'm at Fort Bragg....home of ...."dudes think every truck has to have E rated tires" .....I work at Special Forces Command, home of "the bigger the tires the better" ......the ride just isn't for me. It's hard to go to lunch with any male coworker and it not be a truck with E rated tires. I've ridden in them all from Ford to GMC to Ram on 33s, 35s, leveled, lifted, etc.
My GMC suspension was great, in it's stock form 'to me'.......I made it much better by switching to Bilstein in front and back. The truck rode outstanding 'to me' until I put those tires on it.
You stated D and E rated tires will firm up the Ram 1500's ride, but not to that point........can we agree that rough, smooth, harsh, bumpy, hard are all subjective terms? "Firm up" .....it's such a subjective term. You stated I made a rough ride worse.......but I was far from rough on stock Z71 shocks or superior the Bilsteins.
One thing for sure, I love the look of bigger tires, so I'm not hating on that look. Soon, there will be another look and this will be 'old' ......my first three trucks, I lowered because it was the thing at that time.
I owned two of that generation truck, have a 2015 Silverado work vehicle and have rode in numerous coworkers and friends trucks of the 2014-2018 variety and I found the ride even in stock form with Michelin LTX M/S tires to be pretty bad compared to the previous two gen. trucks. Since the RAM has coil springs in the rear I think it would pretty much be impossible to make it ride as stiff as a GM or Ford truck no matter what you did to the suspension or changed tire wise. Hell I also have a 2003 F350 LWB crew cab at my disposal and I think it even rides better than the Silverado and it has stock size K02's on it.
Alright guys I got some new tires for my 22’s
Nitro ridge grappler 33x12.5 r22
Only a minimal amount of rubbing at full rotation, other than that it rides very smooth, quiet and I’m happy with it.
Hey SMS - I have the exact same setup as of this weekend. I even have the same color Limited! Question - what air pressures did you end up with? And, I know its late to ask, but after a year, are you still happy with them?
