Hi everyone,
Question for those towing with 22 inch wheels. Has anyone gone up in size for towing, i.e, switched to 285/50 22s? I have a limited with air suspension, and the OEMs are shot at 16K miles. I tow a TT that puts me right at my towing capacity limits when loaded with family and dog. And when I do tow, it is usually on 3-4K mile trips, several times a year. It seems that the larger sizes increase tire weights by at least 15lb per tire, but I am gaining increased tire strength. If the increased weight is not directly on the axles does it matter that much? Any thoughts/feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
