That is the most hilarious difference between spec and requirements I've seen. |

Is that a normal size in your neck of the woods? 285/35R22 is common over here but they do tend to be a tad soft in the sidewall (stay on the flat stuff!!). Personally I've gone 305/40R22 114XL and the ride / handling are superb (sorry to all those that have tired of me praising this set up ) |

^^This is my first time buying 22" tires so I have no idea haha. Based on what people are saying here in various threads the options for fitting 22's on our Ranges are 285/35/22 or 285/40/22. I much prefer the 40 because I don't want a skinny sidewall. I want it to look substantial, fill out the wheel well, and provide a comfortable ride....the 35 series tire would provide less for all of those.

It's always a balancing act 280s on 10" rims will give you absolutely no rim protection whatsoever - touch a kerb and it's too late. 285s aren't much better (why I went 305 as mine's a working girl ) and you're right about the 35 profile being too shallow.

So that pic your are running 22's with a 305/40 tire? No rubbing or power steering problems with that setup?

They're 10" rims and pretty sure they're 50 offset - certainly no more!

.......should have added - my speedo is now, according to Mr Tom Tom, smack on but I guess that means I now have no safety margin left |
