Tyre Size

I have a chance of getting some new General Grabbers for a really good price and was wondering if 295/45/22 would be an issue on the RRS...any ideas?

They will if you try and put them on 20inch rims!

Seriously 22's will make the ride very very hard. I noticed a hell of a difference coming from 19's to 20's so an extra 2 inches will make a hell of a difference (no smutty jokes please!) 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

With a 45 profile on 22" rim it would be massively overgeared Shocked

I think also there is an issue with tyres touching the air spring or steering arm when they are oversized ... might be worth checking out before you buy
