Re: 22" tire's on dirt roads.
Just a essentially flat fairly well maintained dirt road. The DWP uses them to maintain equipment, and like others I use them to get to fishing spots. My car handled them with 245/45r18's, but my truck is heavier. Plus I can take alot more which I do. So just trying to stay ahead of the curve a bit.
I am not sold on the 22's, but lowered they look better. If I lower it I may just keep the 18's, and space out the rears to fit flush with the wheel well lip. Plus a slightly better ride.
The ideal plan is to bag the truck for a 5/7 drop, and a soft ride. Then lift the truck for the few miles I cruise off the road.
Or add drop shocks to the front, and re-arch the rear leafs to match. For a 3.5/6 drop, and add helper air bags.
Either way my ability to tow comfortably will increase a good bit. If I do the 22's I will get a set of 16's or 17's for cheap E rated tires when I tow at max weight. If I do sell the 18's.
I need tires before winter so I am trying to plan ahead, and have 3 months to plan.
