Best 295/30/R22 Tires?

Just purchased some 22" wheels and it seems like there aren't much tire option available in a 295/30/R22. For members running 22's what tires do you recommend in that size?

Thanks

I did a lot of research on the subject, to be exact size 315/30/22.

Imo the best tires are with the Yokohama advan st or the Continental sport contact 5 which get the best reviews on almost all the tests. Please note that neither of these tires should be used when its cold or it snows!!

The Vredestein ultrac look awesome and handle nicely (on track and when wet) but not as good as the Yokohamas and Continentals.

I had yokohamas in that size on my ML. Moved to 285 Continentals and the car rides better and tramlines less. 22s look great but you have to accept some ride compromise

Are you running a 22x10.5 wheel? if so are your tires stretched with a 285 or look stretched? Was it the Conti DWS?

Why do you run such a wide tire (315s)? Tire rack shows nothing in that size
