I HAVE A 95 CHEVY DUALLY THAT LOWERED PRETTY LOW. NOT SURE HOW LOW IT IS BECAUSE I GOT IT THAT WAY. I JUST HAD MY SEMI WHEELS MILLED DOWN AND I'M CURIOUS TO WHAT SIZE TIRE IS BEST FOR MY RIDE. 305/40/22 OR 265/35/22? WHO KNOWS WHICH WILL GIVE ME THE BEST RIDE AND PRETTY GOOD TURNING RADIUS. ALSO I NEED A BED COVER FOR THE THING

I got 22.5s milled down. It's so low I have to pick up on the side to put a floor jack under it. It's riding pm stocks right now and unless I drive it hard there is no rub with tires. Just frame on the bottom

What size tires are on the truck now? If it is lowered at least 5/7 then you will need the 265/35/22s and you will have to roll the front fenders just a bit for turning.

The 265/35/22s are the same diameter as the wheel/tire (225/75/16) you have on the truck now.
