Help with new tires

[hunter99]

OK, so I tried searching but din't really have any luck.

I have a '13 R/T at stock height. I really don't plan on lowering it but I may decide to go 2" in the rear and 1" in the front in the future. Anyway I need new tires. I have been looking at 305/45/22's which seem to fit without much issue based on threads I have ben reading. The thing is the tire options are limited. Most are not that great or don't have a long lifespan.

If I decide to go with the stock size 285/45/22 there are more options. I have even thought about going with a SUV Touring tire as it seems there may not really be much difference in handling. I have been looking at these Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus

If I go with the 305's i'll probably go back to the Goodyears as I didn't really have any issue with them. I am not that aggressive of a driver but like to take an interstate ramp at speed and do drive a little over the speed limit. My driving is going to be more limited now as I am going to be working from home.

Anyway, just looking for thoughts. Both have an appeal so I am stuck. Not worried about the difference in price. I know some will recommend the NItto 420S but the vibration when cold will drive my OCD self nuts.

Prolly better to post this in the lowered section for more help.

If you want wide tires get the 305's. The Nittos are a great tire, just a little louder than the OEM tires.

something I learned when getting my tires. Go with a common stock size if possible. 1. they will cost less since they are a stock size on a mass produced vehicle. 2. easier to get if something catastrophic happens.

Also, lowered section will have more help.
