Default Tires >:(

22 inch rims are great, until you need new tires, I wanted some nice Nitto Terra Grapplers, to replace my Komo street tires that came at a deal with my rims. Unfortunately I am learning the hard way, 33" tires to fit my 22"s run around $320 minimum a piece. I can get the same Komo tires at $150 a tire, but I honestly think a 4x4 with street tires is stupid. If anyone knows an aggressive looking all terrain tire that runs cheaper and is comparable in lifetime to nittos... let me know... while I go pawn off some household items!

Hey man nice truck! I have the same problem as you I love my 22's and I want some nice AT tires and realy like the terra grapplers to in a 33 but they are so expensive and I also like the cooper zeon ltz but all they make is a 305/40 R22 in them and thats what I have know in Kumho's, and with a 4x4 and a leveling kit I think they might look to small. I wish they made them in a 305/45 R22 . I hope someone comes out with a decent priced 33" tire for 22's. Toyo open country at's are nice to but they are expensive to and the dune grapplers are expensive to I dont know what to do.

We can thank our boy Obama for these tire prices getting out of hand. Ever since he put that tariff on tires from china, they have been going up across the board. I was looking at some 285/55/20 Hankook Dynapro ATM and a month or two ago they were $194 a piece. Just checked this morning and they are listed for $245. MF! I guess trying to get the life out of these POS Pirelli's has cost me a couple hundred dollars.

i agree with farmer but if the american tire companies wouldnt of been so greedy and kept there factories in the us and not sold out to other countries we might not be spending so much money
