Tires, 19"

What do people think about replacement tires? I have Michelin and Continental that only last about 20k miles. The fronts are in good condition, the rears are gone. I used the warranty 2x now so they wont honor another warranty. Any suggestion on places to order from?

I'm on the second set of Yokohama Geolandar x-cv - great tires, do very well in the rain and okay in snow. I replaced the first set at about 40K miles, could have easily gone more, but got a nail in the sidewall and figured it was time to replace anyway.

Mine are 20", you can find 19" at discount tire: https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tir...r-x-cv/p/42766

Michelins lasted about 20K miles for us. Continental CrossContact are lasting about double that.

Thanks, my Crosstracs lasted about 20k on the rear, fronts are fine. The Michelins last about 10-15k.

would 305 45r22 fit the truck? Obviously w new wheels. There is a set of AMG G wagon wheels that may make sense.
Tire rack says they are too large of an aspect ratio, but only by 5% would they fit in the wheel wells?
