Default Tires for 22"

I'm thinking about getting some 22's for my car. I love the Vossens that people are post on here. I'm pretty new to this, so are there any brand and sizing you all recommend? I just looking for something with less road noise and won't affect my ride quality as much.

i'm running the nitto 555's on my savini wheels:

295/25 22 and 255/30 22

you're going to affect the ride just by going with the 22's...hope you know that...

As far as tire brand/type, I really like my Continental Extreme DWS..I have 20" tires, but happy with how they ride and sound

Thanks for all the advice. After alot of thought, I think I'm just going to switch out my stock tires to better ones. I don't want to sacrifice comfort for looks

The 22's are going to give you about 15-20% more road vibration a noise on poor road surfaces........But I can't believe how much nicer the wheels make the car look. The rear fender is pretty generous and that 235 width stock tire is no where near enough to fill the fender. In the end it really depends on what your priorities and tolerances are.
