Do 22's suck?

[Gumby]

I really like the look of large wheels. I also have a dedicated set of 18 inch steelies for winter. The 22's are heavier (obv) than the 18s so fuel mileage takes a brief nose dive around town. On the highway its better.

I've always felt 20" wheels are a nice middle ground as long as you're running like a 31"+ tall tire.

I get out in the soft sand all the time and I hate how the 22's load up. My wheels are all out of balance until I can get to a water hose and wash all the sand out.

I do mostly highway driving and I was fine with the 22's on my '19 Platinum until I drove my brother's that he went to 18's on. The difference was not subtle in terms of ride comfort and if you have the right tires the reduction in road noise. I am pretty much all on going to a smaller wheel, just have not decided if I am going all the way to 18s, or to 20s. This is a no-brainer.

There are lots of options for 22" A/T tires. 285/45R22 is the stock size. Firestone Destination AT2 is a good one. So are the Continental Terrain Contact AT's.

I had the Terrain Contacts on my Yukon in 285/45r22 and loved them

To quote a modern scholar, "I can't lose with 22's"

I want to get the Conti's right now for our 21 but the wife is saying to wait till the factory Pirelli's wear out. I think she'll change her mind this winter..

You can get a set of Ford Raptor wheels for about $400 (+/-) to use as your off-road wheels. Many of them look pretty good too.
I have stock 20's and Raptor 17's for off-roading after I cracked a set of aftermarket 20's while stupidly off-roading with them.

I didn't have problems running 22's in the middle of winter and slick roads (other than slipping that all non-chained/non-snow tires suffered from), and the corrosion of the aluminum valve stem caps that stuck them onto the valve stems that they stems had to be destroyed to remove it all...

The 22's are good for highway driving and cornering. They're not good over rough roads or off roading with the CCD suspension. I'll probably get some 18's if I decide to keep the truck for a few more years. If I never went off roading or lived somewhere with good roads I would stick with the 22's. Hellwig sway bars will help out a lot regardless of the wheel and tire combination.
