22 Tire selection

[metalmaniac]

Looking for a sporty ,well riding 22 tire for my Tahoe, it has a 2-3 drop. I will be running 285-45-22. I tried yokahoma on my last 22 and was less than impressed with the ride and longevity. Im currently looking at Toyo proxes II, Nitto 420s ans the Cooper zeon. Thoughts?

my vote would go to the 420s I had them on my charger and loved them

take a look at the Yoko Parada's. I have a 2011 Yukon and got 45000 mi out of them. Ride and handling is excellent. You will not be disappointed.

I know you said the 285/45, but I have 305/40 in Venezia Crusade SUV and they ride pretty damned good. Longevity????? Only got about 2500 miles on em!

I too have the Nitto NT420S on my esky. Best road tire I've had along with the sickest tread pattern I've ever seen. Definitely buying these tires again next time around.

Just put about 500 miles on my Yokohama Parada Spec-X's and so far I'm happy with them.

Anyone tried the goodyear fortera that can comparea with Nitto? I need new tires by the end of the month and keep coming back to the goodyears, though I'm hesitant because they may not be as performance oriented as I would like, being they have an H speed rating.

The Fortera is an OE spec tire, it's a great all season tire. I ran bth the Nitto and the Fortera on my Denali and both were great tires. The GY will do slightly better in winter conditions the 420S is a better dry weather performer.

LOVE THEM!

Guaranteed for 50k. If they don't last 50k bring them to the nearest retailer or Sears Auto Center and open up a warranty claim. Of course the tires need to be rotated and vehicle aligned thru out their life on the truck! I got them price matched from Discounttire.com to Sears had them installed. Get lifetime balance, rotation and 3 year guarantee on my alignment. Also added the road hazard protection agreement since I work in an area where I am very likely to get an object in the tire. I have used the Rd. Hazard 2x so far...2 weeks I got a nail to close to the sidewall so they replaced the tire and no charge and then another time they repaired the tire at no cost. It is no cheap plug...its from the inside out. Like a dual Patch with Plug. Holding up well and will last the lifetime of the tire. I will not see these tires to last 50k since I run a staggered tire size.

OE Spec, didn't know that. I'm sure that means compromises galore, so I'll lean the other way. Don't need to worry about snow here anyways, unless I feel like heading up to Lake Tahoe.
