If you have a half inch of clearance, moving up to 285/50/22 gives you some good options in real tires that will last up to 160,000 kms.

Curb Rash!!! Welcome to the club. I lightly curbed 2 of my wheels a year ago.View attachment 53769
These are by far the worst brand name tires I've ever owned (which I believe I've opined on in a previous thread).
I like my 18” and 17” … aluminum rim is tucked away !Curb Rash!!! Welcome to the club. I lightly curbed 2 of my wheels a year ago.

Mine never stops - see above ^^^When my wife first got the truck, she did a bit of "park by feel" unfortunately. She's much better now though.
In fairness … probably 20x the drive through lanes in 2020Mine never stops - see above ^^^
considering snows are bad in the wet, that's saying something...Wife and I drove up to Orillia today to look at some trailers and it was wet/raining. Pulled out onto a main road and could not accelerate. Touching the gas had the truck walking its ass sideways. This is not the first time I've experienced it, this is what had me looking at tossing these tires last year and I'm finally fed up enough that I've ordered new ones, which I did about 30 seconds after this event.
Trucks has ~40,000Km on it and gets dedicated snows every winter. Despite that, and the absolutely horrific wet traction these tires serve up, these are burning off at an alarming rate (quite unlike the snow tires, which are wearing exceptionally well).

These are by far the worst brand name tires I've ever owned (which I believe I've opined on in a previous thread). While they hook-up just fine in the dry; I'd argue they actually are quite good in the dry, their wet traction is next-level bad. My reference is the snows, which we just took off a few weeks ago, which are orders of magnitude better in the wet than these are.
Replacement are Michelin Defender LTX M/S, hope to have them installed in the next couple of days.
Sounds like me with BF Goodrich's, Never again.I've never met a GoodYear tire I liked.
I mean you got to have gator backs on a SSP 5.0, but beyond that, nope...
It is if you have had two sets and are familiar with their performance even with tread.Not fair to criticize a tire when it is practically worn out. Tread bars are almost as high as the tread.
ShhhhhhhBut is this the end of the tire story or will it take an unexpected turn?
@OVERKILL
Maybe he went with the E-rated 285/50/22 Toyo AT IIIs.
Yes, you don't need E-rated tires on a SUV anymore than using a .338LM to put little holes in paper. But it's fun.
Nope, nothing load range E lol. I did however do a slight deviation after the tires I ordered weren't in stock and I was able to save $700.00. I chose the top-rated tire in the class, that's a big hint
