245/75R22.5 or a 235/80R22.5 is the equivalent, but I would check with a local tire shop

Yes, there are still 9R22.5's available.


Before recommending other sizes, please tell us what size wheels you have. That info is on the GVWR plaque and stamped on the wheels.


IF (you need to confirm) you have the TORSILASTIC SUSPENSION, the first thing you need to do is measure/adjust RIDE HEIGHT.


Feel free to PM me if you need assistance-- this is not one of the threads I normally follow on iRV2.

I've had great results buying tires from SimpleTire.com
They have 17.5" tires in stock.
