The tires are clearly marked ALL SEASON in the photos in the first post.So are the 22" not all-season? Would it be a bad idea to have these for Chicago winters?

Would be good to see what the 21's look like with the inserts removed and understand the impact to range.Thanks for the feedback, I originally ordered with 22" because I thought the 21" was ugly, now I changed it back to 21's .
I didn't realize those inserts were removable
I was thinking the same thing. They look cool, but one bad pothole and you've bent a rim. This is more of a problem with heavy vehicles.Although those 22s look very sexy, am I the only one that sees them and think pothole flat due to limited sidewall thickness?
The competition all has giant wheels - see: Range RoverI was thinking the same thing. They look cool, but one bad pothole and you've bent a rim. This is more of a problem with heavy vehicles.
Yep. I know a guy with a full size pickup (GM or Chevy) with 22's and the same size tires the R1T has and not only do they look really good, there is plenty of sidewall, and he says the ride is great and hasn't had any issues with bent rims, etc.The competition all has giant wheels - see: Range Rover
more sidewall and less wheel.I was thinking the same thing. They look cool, but one bad pothole and you've bent a rim. This is more of a problem with heavy vehicles.
Needing some help here from current owners... how do the 22 inch tires ride? There will be virtually no off roading for me. Really thinking about switching to 22 from 20 and adding black. Don't really like the 20 black but like the 22 black. And the 10 percent range loss vs 5 percent loss in the 22s. It looks like the 20 in tires are more expensive as well. Would it be feasible to make your own 22 inch spare tire? I cant find the full specs for the 22 in wheel. Instead of buying the 800 spare.I was at the Denver service center today and took some pictures of the various wheels. Not sure if these have been posted somewhere else, but figured I would share them regardless.
Personal opinion was the 22" black wheels didn't look as good in person compared to the configurator, and the 20" black wheels looked great in person compared to the configurator.
The last picture (LE green with the black 20" wheels) was my favorite configuration. My wife still prefers the 22" black wheels.
I’m in the same boat, keep going back & forth. Something to keep in mind, I think in looking at different sizes, you need to stay with a 115/116 load index. Just a thought.Needing some help here from current owners... how do the 22 inch tires ride? There will be virtually no off roading for me.

I found the oem 22 in tires...so not cheaper. I saw on another thread someone talking the 22 Verde tire. That's why I posted it.I’m in the same boat, keep going back & forth. Something to keep in mind, I think in looking at different sizes, you need to stay with a 115/116 load index. Just a thought.
