Pirelli AS plus 3 vs Michelin Defenders LTX M/S
The Continental TerrainContact H/T have pretty good initial reviews. What I like about Michelins (brand in general) is that they maintain consistent performance throughout the life of the tire. That aspect is hard for initial reviews to assess. -

Why the switch to big rims?
Whether low"er" profile tires are better performing both for the road and track is debatable. If it is, it's due to tire availability for certain sizing. But for road course/track applications, people are usually opting for a smaller wheel/taller sidewall with the same overall diameter that... -

Why the switch to big rims?
None of those are going to be lighter than a 20x9 flow formed wheel at 27.6lbs: https://vorsteineroffroad.com/products/vr-601-tungsten-graphite -

Why the switch to big rims?
I think we're on the same page. 22" wheels are usually pretty heavy and the increased weight hinders performance more than very minor sidewall performance characteristics. I haven't seen any factory braking system that requires a wheel larger than 20" to clear. In fact, there are a lot of... -

Carjack Attempt??
+1. This. I've had an attempted car jacking experience - fortunately, it was quickly resolved in a manner with the least amount of "work". Your situational awareness is what will save you because action beats reaction every time all the time. My SO and I went out to dinner around Baltimore...- Polo08816
