To everyone in pothole land with the 25 series tires on the rear, how are the wheels doing? The way the 22 inch wheels look, if I can't get the 22's I'll stay stock. Or can I get 30 series in the rear?
I'm running 245/30/22 in the front and 265/30/22 in the rear
I'm running 295 25 22 in the rear. How come you went with that size?
My installer reccommended them b/c I wanted to run a tire with more rubber in the back due to the horrible roads in the DC area. Worked out well for me.

ah ic. your tires looks pretty stretched. I could be wrong.

I thought this side by side comparison would help.
As you can see, the 295/25 is closer matched in overall stock diameter for plus sizing, but the 265/30 provides about .45 inches of add'l sidewall height and the 265/30 loses about 1.18 inches of width. Seems to me that if you can get over the diameter difference, that extra .45 inches of sidewall could help provide more room between road and rim. I am not good at math, but if you are going 3% too slow with 265s, but wouldn't you eventually get 3% less mileage on your car than you should have while riding on that size? Sounds like a win win LOL
This is a generic tire calculator and all tires/brands can vary quite a bit, but this is a good baseline to start with when comparing
