35x12.50R22 tires

35x12.50R22 is the 35-inch tire on 22-inch wheels, the show-truck standard. No truck comes with it from the factory: the 2024 F-250 left the plant on 275/70R18, 285/75R18 or 275/65R20, the Ram 2500 on 275/70R18 or 285/60R20, and the half-tons on 32-inch tires. Below are real prices for 156 tires in stock, three picks and what a 35 on 22s takes.

What 35x12.50R22 tires cost

Prices are per tire, before mounting and balancing. A set of four in the mid range comes to roughly $1,056 to $1,272, and a brand rebate can take another $50 to $110 off, see this month's deals.

What a 35 on 22-inch wheels asks of a truck

A 35-inch tire is two to three inches taller than the factory tire on these trucks, and 12.5 inches wide. Fitting it normally takes a suspension lift, wheels with the right offset and often fender trimming, and the speedometer, gearing and braking all feel the change. On a half-ton truck the larger, heavier tire takes a noticeable bite out of acceleration and fuel economy; on a diesel three-quarter-ton the drivetrain copes better.

With a 22-inch wheel the sidewall is only about 6.5 inches, so the look is more aggressive than a 35 on 17s or 20s, but the tire flexes less off-road and leaves the wheel more exposed to rocks.

Load range F and the right pressure

Tires in this size are heavy light-truck tires, and the picks here are listed as load range F with a 121 load index. That is a stiff casing designed for high pressures. On a half-ton truck that weighs far less than the tire's capacity, the pressure molded on the sidewall would make the ride harsh and wear the center of the tread; ask the installer to set the pressure from the tire maker's load table for your truck's real axle weights.

Balance matters more on a tire this heavy. Expect to need more balancing weight than with a factory tire, and have the balance checked if a vibration appears at highway speed.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

35x12.50R22 is a flotation size, the format used on larger truck tires: the first number is the overall diameter in inches (nominally 35 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 121Q on the Ironman All Country M/T, Toyo Open Country A/T III and Nitto Ridge Grappler (3,197 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.

Ironman All Country M/T, $321.06. A low-priced mud-terrain with large shoulder blocks and a deep tread, listed by tiresize.com as a load range F tire in this size. If it is missing from stock, the full price list below has the alternatives.

Toyo Open Country A/T III, $649.46. Toyo's all-terrain with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol. The retailer gives 50,000 miles for LT and flotation sizes, while tiresize.com lists 55,000 in this size. It is listed as 121Q and is the best everyday tire of the three.

Nitto Ridge Grappler, $662. Nitto's rugged-terrain, a common choice on lifted trucks for its looks and its mix of on- and off-road grip. The warranty covers workmanship, full for the first 25 percent of tread and then pro rata, with no mileage figure. It is listed as 121Q here.

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 35x12.50R22 tires cost?

Expect $204–$264 per tire for a budget brand, $264–$318 for a mid-range tire like the Toyo Open Country A/T III, and $318–$644 for a premium tire like the Nitto Ridge Grappler. A set of four therefore starts at about $816. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 35x12.50R22 tires?

35x12.50R22 is original equipment on Ford F-250/F-350 (2005-2024, 22 in lifted), Ram 2500/3500 (2010-2024, 22 in lifted), Ford F-150 (2015-2024, 22 in lifted), Ram 1500 (2009-2024, 22 in lifted) and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2014-2024, 22 in lifted), 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 35x12.50R22 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 Ironman All Country M/T is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 35x12.50R22 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.
