XL rating makes the ride on the 22's uncomfortable. I have a set of Michellins with the same specs. I've had other 20's and 21's on other SUV's that were lighter but with roughly the same sidewall height and they were not nearly as bad, same tire (Michellin Defender LTX M/S) on all my trucks, only difference was XL rating.There are 22" tires in XL rating. I just put a set of Continentals on our Expedition...not that I do a lot of towing, but they came with that load rating.
What is this about? Are talking about longer axles and the center caps that plug into the wheel??note that most F150 wheels will require the rear axle stubs to be trimmed off (with a sawzalll or whatever) or the dust caps won't fit in the rear wheels.
You need XL (or LT range C) wheels to handle the GWVR of the expedition... It's the 39 PSI plus short sidewalls that makes a harsh ride. 275/65R18 run 35 psi.XL rating makes the ride on the 22's uncomfortable. I have a set of Michellins with the same specs.

um, 113 is a *lower* load rating than 116.
