24.5 vs 22.5 tires
Could I get some responses about the pros and cons of 24.5 vs 22.5 tires ? Thanks

con i have heard of here in nyc is that the added 2 inchs puts alot of trucks over the 13-6 limit and hit overpasses here.

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.

agreed also, going from small rubber to big rubber does NOT raise the vehicle 2 inches... |

Allan there very few things in life that are 100% right or wrong. I suggest you go talk to an actual tire rep about rolling resistance before you reject it out of hand.
