Hi all, I have a 2022 RST with 22" wheels. Anyone able to buy winter tires for this size?
I called Discount tires but wasn't able to place an order due to this tire size currently on backorder.

Any help is appreciated!

Good luck that size is hard to find in pretty much anything else other than the Firestone dueler or the OEM.

I don't know where you live, or your winter conditions, but Michelin Defenders are available in your size, and the winters in NH have not yet thrown anything at the Defenders that they could not handle.

I just put blizzaks on my 2022 RST

PICS IN ANSEC
I put 285/45-22 on mine, I love blizzaks. But we do get 300” a year.

I'd say get a cheap set of take off wheels and tires, or a second set of wheels of an easier size to find like mentioned above. Then you can keep your nice wheels in good condition and not have to do the swap-a-ro each season with tires

Plus, a whole second set doesn't take up much room and you can change get them out yourself in about 15 minutes. I keep 2 sets for both of my yukons and it works good.

Again, just a opinion, not gospel

I ran a set of 22” snow tires on a 2018 Expedition and it still sucked in the snow. Way too much footprint.

Downsized to a set of 18” takeoffs with 18” Blizzaks and it was MUCH better. Sold that vehicle and are going to use the 18” Blizzaks on this ‘22 Burb which I just got a set of takeoff 18” wheels to use for winter.

I drove a 2007 Tahoe for many years and swapped the rubber on the rims year after year, and regretted it many times.

When I purchased the new Denali, that first winter I purchased snow tires on another set of rims (nice ones!).

Best way to go!!!

I put on GMC 18" rims rather than 22"s so I could run chains on my snows when in MT/ ND. No issues with the stock calipers.

I have a set of Defender 285/45 R22 in good shape and they are on a set of 2015 factory Escalade rims complete with center caps. they would be perfect for a 2nd set of winter tires and rims. 2 of the rims have matching dents on the inside of rims around 2 to 3" but not terrible. If they were put on the rear, I doubt it would be noticeable as far as ride is concerned or if at all period. But I am located in central Fla so don't know about shipping costs, but I will sell at a good price just to see someone get some use out of them or would sell separately. Not looking to retire off of them. I picked them up thinking the rim would look good on my 05 but it is too much rim for my taste and my year. Sticking with my 20's.
