❓ R22 TYRE FAQS

R22 indicates the tyre fits a 22-inch diameter rim. The "R" stands for radial construction. For example, 305/40R22 means 305mm width, 40% aspect ratio, radial construction, for a 22-inch wheel.

R22 is common on American muscle cars (Dodge Challenger/Charger SRT, Ford Mustang GT500, Camaro ZL1), full-size trucks with premium trims (Ram 1500, F-150, Silverado), and large SUVs (Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator, GMC Yukon Denali). It's a statement size that combines aggressive looks with performance.

Predator Comptrax PR1 A/S and X-AT tyres have a 50,000mi (80,500km) treadwear warranty. All Predator tyres include a 4-year manufacturer warranty and FREE 12-month VIP road hazard protection covering punctures, cuts, and impact damage.

Yes — both notations refer to the same size. 35 is the overall diameter in inches (~889mm), 12.5 is the section width in inches (~318mm), and R22 is the rim diameter. This flotation sizing is common for off-road truck tyres.

35/12.5R22 (~35" diameter, 12.5" wide) typically requires a 2-3" lift kit on most full-size trucks. Some vehicles may need additional modifications like wheel spacers or guard trimming. Always verify fitment for your specific vehicle — contact us if you're unsure.

R22 tyres require more raw materials, higher performance specifications, and lower production volumes than common sizes. They're designed for heavy vehicles requiring high load ratings and speed capabilities. However, Predator offers premium performance at mid-range pricing — significantly less than comparable brands like Nitto or Toyo.
