    How are reliable 19.5 Michelin tires? Are they more like 17.5 or 22.5 by reliability? The difference in the deck height is ridiculous.

    22.5 = 40"
    19.5 = 38"
    17.5 = 36"
    Probably some models have 1" less.

    All the same, remember your wheels are turning a lot faster so put your hands to your hubs more often. Very few check this and even fewer have a problem. Biggest issue is finding one if you have a blowout

    Tires used are rated the same as a 22.5.
    Watch air pressure and heat. Other wise not really any different than a 22.5.
