33x12.50R22 tires

33x12.50R22 is the street-truck tire: a 33-inch light-truck tire on a 22-inch aftermarket wheel, the look that fills the fenders of a leveled F-150, Ram 1500, Silverado, Sierra or Tundra. No truck came on it from the factory. Below are real prices for 132 tires in stock, three picks in mud-terrain, all-terrain and rugged-terrain form, and what a 22-inch wheel does to the ride.

Five and a half inches of sidewall

A 33-inch tire on a 22-inch wheel has about 5.5 inches of sidewall, against roughly 7.5 inches for a 33 on 18s. That is what gives the size its look, and it is also why it rides harder, transmits more of every expansion joint into the cab and protects the wheel less in a pothole. The tires are heavy too: our three picks weigh 59 to 63 pounds each, much of it at the outer edge of a large wheel.

Most owners accept that for the appearance. If you want the stance with a better ride, a 33 on a 20-inch wheel is a compromise worth pricing.

Load range E or F on a half-ton

These are LT tires, and two of our picks are load range E while the Nitto is load range F with an 80 psi maximum. On a half-ton pickup that carries no more than people and groceries, an F casing is far stiffer than needed. Run the pressure from the tire maker's table for your axle weight; at sidewall maximum on an empty half-ton the ride is harsh and the center of the tread wears out early. Speed ratings are modest in this size, Q or R, so these are not tires for sustained high-speed driving.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

33x12.50R22 is a flotation size, the format used on larger truck tires: the first number is the overall diameter in inches (nominally 33 inches, a little less once mounted and loaded), the second is the section width in inches (12.50) and the last is the wheel diameter, 22 inches. These are LT tires with a load range letter on the sidewall, usually E or F here; a replacement should carry the same letter, because the letter sets the maximum inflation pressure the tire is built for.

In this size our picks are marked 109Q on the Atturo Trail Blade M/T (2,271 lb per tire, rated to 99 mph), 109R on the Toyo Open Country A/T III (2,271 lb per tire, rated to 106 mph) and 114Q on the Nitto Ridge Grappler (2,601 lb per tire, rated to 99 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.

Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.

Our three picks, side by side

One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

Atturo Trail Blade M/T, $230.96. The aggressive look for the least money: a mud-terrain tread with wraparound shoulder lugs and stone ejectors, 20/32 inch deep, in a load range E casing rated 109Q. Expect noise on the highway, and no mileage warranty.

Toyo Open Country A/T III, $517.79. The quietest and most versatile of the three, and the only one with the 3PMSF snow symbol. In this flotation size Toyo's warranty is 50,000 miles, and at 59.4 pounds it is also the lightest.

Nitto Ridge Grappler, $501. The tire that defines the street-truck look, with an aggressive hybrid tread. In this size it is a load range F, 114Q tire with an 80 psi maximum and 16.4/32 inch of tread. There is no mileage warranty; Nitto covers workmanship, pro rata after the first quarter of the tread.

The same tires in neighboring sizes

The Atturo Trail Blade M/T, our budget pick here at $230.96, is also stocked in LT275/65R18 ($206.96). The Toyo Open Country A/T III, our mid-range pick here at $517.79, is also stocked in 305/45R22 ($490.40), 35x12.50R22 ($649.46), 285/55R20 ($342.98) and 305/55R20 ($463.02).

Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber.

Winter on a pickup in this size

Four-wheel-drive pickups satisfy Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, on the vehicle alone, provided the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread. A two-wheel-drive truck, still common in work trims, must be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Nearly every all-terrain tire carries the M+S marking, and the better ones now also carry the 3PMSF symbol, which requires a tested level of snow traction rather than just a tread pattern. An unloaded pickup is light over its rear axle, so on snow the rear tires lose grip first; a few hundred pounds of ballast in the bed over the axle does as much as the tire choice.

Of our picks in this size, the Toyo Open Country A/T III carries the 3PMSF symbol; the Nitto Ridge Grappler does not.

Frequently asked questions

How much do 33x12.50R22 tires cost?

Expect $188–$238 per tire for a budget brand, $238–$273 for a mid-range tire like the Toyo Open Country A/T III, and $273–$501 for a premium tire like the Nitto Ridge Grappler. A set of four therefore starts at about $752. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 33x12.50R22 tires?

33x12.50R22 is original equipment on Ford F-150 (2015-2024, 22 in aftermarket), Ram 1500 (2009-2024, 22 in aftermarket), Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2014-2024, 22 in aftermarket), GMC Sierra 1500 (2014-2024, 22 in aftermarket) and Toyota Tundra (2007-2024, 22 in aftermarket), 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 33x12.50R22 tire?

For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Toyo Open Country A/T III, 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 Nitto Ridge Grappler is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Atturo Trail Blade M/T is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 33x12.50R22 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.
