on my old truck with 20in rims i had bridgestone dueler A/T REVO 2's and loved them. I recently leased a 19 ram with 22's and am now in the same boat as you. trying to decide what tires I want to put on once i'm done with my lease

I have Nitto Terra Grappler G2 305/45/r22. Smooth ride but if I had to do it over again I would be looking at the Ridge Grappler and try to go as big as possible. Perhaps a 35x12.50r22 BUT there are so many combos and depending on your setup with air suspension or not...Off Road package or NOT...

Do you have stock suspension and if so, any rubbing issues? I am looking at the exact same size in the Ridge Grapplers. I really do not want an LT tire so I was hoping the 305/45/22 XL would be the happy medium.

I have the air suspension but there are no issues. The new tire is barely taller and wider.

285/55/22 look awesome on my limited but messes up the ride, mpg, and power. Wasn’t worth the trade off so I’m going to 33 inch. These trucks are amazingly smooth and I want to keep it that way. Look at 305/45/22 Nitto makes 4 ply in ridge and terra grappler. Most others are 10 ply and you will feel every bump.

Do you have air suspension? Ive been looking at the 285/50/22 but worry about the 10ply tire ruining the smooth ride. I had a local guy recommended a Yokohama Geolander AT but that would be a stock 285/45/22 size. I love the 22' wheels but hate how few tire options are available.

TJ, not sure what RC's talking about regarding "messing up ride"....

I have factory 22" wheels/tires with air suspension, and my RAM rides almost as good as my $100k MB SUV (in comfort mode) to give you some perspective. Not quite there but almost, and leaps and bounds better than my BMW X5 or Audi A6.

Cheers,

Thanks for the feedback. I am no stranger to 10 ply tires, but I've never ran an E rated tire on a 22" wheel. Being a lo-profile tire I was unsure how noticeable of a change it would be. My biggest gripe is the limited AT tire brand selection for a 22" wheel.

Yeah the limited. Don’t do 10 ply if you want a smooth ride. Not worth the looks. Look on Nitto site they have at and hybrid tires with 4 ply in 305/45/22 which is just over 33 inch. Just ordered some

If anyone is near Alabama, I am selling my 305/45r22 Nitto Terra Grappler G2 with 4K miles on them. I will make someone a heck of a deal.

I’m not close but curious why you are selling. I’m looking to change from 295/55 to 305/45 for a smoother ride. Too much city driving in seattle. Are they 4 ply or the E rated? Just curious how they rode. Do you have pics?

285/55/22 look great but negates the smooth ride if you drive in city. You feel everything
