What tire could possibly look good for my Suburban on Premier 22"

[AZCreeker]

I am wondering what option I have when it will be time to replace stock tires on our 22" wheels.
I am thinking about doing 5100 all way around and raise the front a bit 1 or 1-1/2".
My question is what would be a good one size up that would compliment the setup?
stock are 285/45r22. I would like something a bit more meaty.
100% street used, so maybe an all terrain with good street manners?
thanks for your shared pics and feedback!

For a stock size tire with good street manners and a little more aggresive look I would suggest the Bridgestone At’s (pic below). We put them on my wifes last Yukon and we really like the look and performace. The Nitto terra grappler is also available in the stock size.

If leveling and wanting a slightly bigger tire with more aggressive looks I would suggest Nitto ridge grappler in the 285/50/22 (33.2x11.2). You could fit the wider ones probably but street performace may suffer a bit. I feel that size would be good all around size for the street compared to the wider ones.

Nitto terra grapplers also have larger than stick size which is a good tire also

Here are a few pics of the nitto terra grapplers on 22’s.

Thanks for your reply, and the pics! Is there a big difference in noise/mpg drop/ride quality from that Bridgestone AT and the other 2?

Welcome!

The only direct comparison I personally can make in this size wheel/tire is between the Bridgestone Dueler A/T’s and the H/L’s. The AT’s are much more aggresive looking in person compared to the HL’s, and they really dont make much more noise to speak of. They hook up very well for street driving in dry/wet/snow covered roads. The nittos will definitely make a little more noise, but it wouldn't be horrible.

thanks for your replies, input and pictures!!!!! would you have by anychance a side picture of your ride with these A/T Dualer?
I am thinking about going with billstein 5100 front and rear and only lift the front 1" (i know they can go up to 1.75")
the reason why is:

-that way I could stay with a pretty mild manner 285/45r22 (noise wise), the pricing on them is better than the rare few options for 285/50r22

-and I think it will add just enough attitude, the idea would be for someone to think it's all stock with a little flair to it.

I purchased a 2016 Tahoe that during the certification process received NEW 22’s. Goodyears Forteras. Look great, ride great.

these from the reviews seem great. I am looking off something a bit more offroad oriented. I was initially going to look at nitto in 285/50r22 but they seem really expensive, I guess that's the exclusivity due to the rare size.

I dont have a side pic with those tires. That was my wifes last vehicle from a few years back.

However, I am putting a 1.5" leveling kit on her current Denali this week when the kit comes in (ordered last Saturday), then tossing on a set of 305/45/22 Hankook Dynapro Atm tires (they are sitting at discount tire waiting right now). I can add pics of that setup soon hopefully!

Here is a pic of the tires that I found on the internet.

Woww, thats a real good idea.
I did not think about this tire model or size. I also see they are better price than nitto G2 285/50r22

Def would love to see a pic once installed with 1.5 level.
that might be exactly what I'm looking for.

I found the post you got your picture from and the guy has a 2.5 level kit and said he had to do some minor trimming, will be interesting to see your with 1.5".
I am going with Billstein 5100 1.75" max lift in the front, nothing in the rear

Yes, the price is exactly why I went with these tires. I really wanted the Nitto Ridge grapplers in a 285/50/22, but WOW $$$$$. Not to mention, that is really a little more aggressive than she needs LOL.

Yea, I am curious if I will need to trim anything (or pull the liner back, anyway). Looking at the front fender liner with her stock tires, it is definitely gonna be close. But honestly, I dont think a leveling kit (weather it is 1.5" or 2.5") is really gonna help at all. I jacked the front of her car up 1.5-2" with a floor jack, and the stock tire is still basically damn near rubbing the fender liner when turned.

Will update when I get it all done!

Here is a short youtube video I found of the exact setup. He dosnt mention any rubbing.

Take a look at Cooper, too. Great reviews, great pricing.

The zeon? I was checking that one out, too. The coops are typically damn good tires... especially for the money.

looking for all terrain options, these look more 100% street, unless there is a diff one I'm not looking at
