About the 265/50R22 size
New Toyota 22 in size (32.4 in), H/V with 112 load. Highway SUV tires from Michelin, Bridgestone and Continental; limited but growing.
The numbers mean: 265 mm section width, sidewall height 50 % of that width, and a 22-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 32.4 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 265/50R22 tires cost?
Expect $150–$202 per tire for a budget brand, $206–$292 for a mid-range tire like the Continental CrossContact LX25, and $296–$425 for a premium tire like the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 265/50R22 tires?
265/50R22 is original equipment on Toyota Tundra (2022-2024, Capstone/Platinum 22 in), Toyota Sequoia (2023-2024, Capstone) and Lexus LX 600 (2022-2024, 22 in), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 265/50R22 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Continental CrossContact LX25, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Ironman All Country H/T is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 265/50R22 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
