295/75r22.5 vs 11r24.5 height , pros and cons

I knew that!

 

Yep, that was feature, all the 3 digit trucks had big rubber. Too bad so many bosses didn't think that way.

 

My truck is so far from being a triple digit truck, but with the big rubber, it looks like it.

 

Low pros going to give you some ability to haul taller loads legally with out permits.

 

11r tire will give you 1in taller then low pro

 

I’m having trouble finding 24.5 lo pros. Thinking of switching to 22.5s Would rather run 11 r 22.5s, for a better ride. But apparently they’re scarce too. 22.5s lo pro. readily available. With 355 ratio, I’m guessing, it would be close to the equivalent of having 370 ratio with 24.5 lo pros. Would help my little Detroit in the hills. And have all the same size Truck/ Trailer. Just don’t want to forfeit any ride comfort, with 22.5 lo pros. Too bad, what started as a cost savings, and also lower rolling resistance tactic, has become the standard. WTF?

 

Where are you shopping that 11r’s are hard to find?

 

I think 11r have worse mpg. I am switching back to low pro

 

My mpgs are already terrible. Always run Luggers, good in snow, and last forever. But I run south a lot. I should go with 22.5 lo all the way around. I just stopped at a few T/As and Loves. Loves only stocks 2 24.5 Drives in each store. Petro has a set of Ironman Chinese for $2800. Not very impressive. Current Chinese Drives have lasted a long time.I prefer Continentals Firestone or Yoko Luggers. Should probably go with a closed shoulder, or fuel economy tire.Nows the time to make the switch. Current wheels are directional “ sawblade “ style. Trailer has 22.5 tall, most are good. Have to run them out for now. I think I’d better make the switch now. Avoid future frustration.The original plan was to put aluminums on trailer, but a friend has 2 brand new 22 rims, I can use for steers. My guess is someone would want to buy the 10 sawblades. They’re hard to find.

 

I would welcome a lower height. Always hitting trees. Breaking trailer lights. Condo is also too high. 12.7 13 spd 355s is good. But 370s might be better for my operation. Switching from 24.5 lo pro to 22.5 lo pro may be equivalent. I don’t know, just a guess.
