22.5 is a bit more fuel efficient, and a bit cheaper to buy. 24.5 could carry a bit more weight, and wearing out a bit longer!

24.5 tires rotate fewer times for every mile you go down the road so their rolling resistance is actually less than than 22.5's. They do weigh a little more and cost more to replace. Because of their larger diameter you should get more mileage from them. 22.5's only advantage is cost and availability on the road.

The only reason to hit a bridge is DRIVER ERROR......NOTHING else. agreed also, going from small rubber to big rubber does NOT raise the vehicle 2 inches...
