Hello all,
I drive a 2019 1500 limited with air ride.
I love the way my truck rides. I am no mechanic or really very interested in cars. I enjoy the outdoors and like to ski,hunt,shoot,fish. I have the stock 285//45/22 wheels and tires. I’d would really like to get more beef to my tires. I’d like to get the truck on the beach but I’m definitely a little worried doing it with this tire.i know Mickey Thompson makes a 285/55/22 but I have have heard some terrible reviews about them. And most of my driving is highway. I was thinking of maybe going to a 20” wheel with larger tire or keeping the 22” and lifting the truck. I’d really appreciate your suggestions.

Thank you
Crazyeyes

Welcome
The great tire debate! You'll get all kind of answers on that question!
Personally not a fan of huge wheels. I bought some TRX wheels which are 18s
Id go to at least 20s so you some kind of sidewall flex and grip
Truck looks great!

20's are a good move but 18's would be best and you can fit up to a 33" tall tire on stock air ride

so a 33x10.5 or 11.5 will work

u can easily raise the front with adjustable links on air ride also

Haven't had it on a beach, but I've never had an issue going through some of our "sugar sand" trails with 22's and the Toyo's. That said, I'd still prefer 20's.

Thank you, much appreciated!

My vote is for 18s just in case you didn't know. Get what makes you happy though
