just ordered my Laramie! It will come with the 285/45 r22 xl BSW all season tires on the 22” polished painted wheels. What kind of tire is this? I am wanting to have an idea of what they look like and if a larger tire can be put on without a lift.

Thanks for any response

BSW = Black Side Wall

You've got the size listed above and you can go a bit taller if you want. Sometimes taller and wider won't work without at least a level kit installed. I'd suggest looking at 2 or 3 or 4 different tire sizes for comparison purposes.

I like this website for comparing tire sizes side by side:

As far as what brand tire is coming on your truck can vary. I've seen Bridgestone Dueler H/L, Nexian Guardians and Goodyear Wrangler SR-A tires on new trucks in the lots.

I can see that happening as well. They will purchase whatever is the best price that meets minimum spec for the truck's load carrying capacity.
