Match the load index and speed rating shown on your vehicle placard or handbook, or choose a higher rating if permitted. Many 285/30 R22 options are XL (Extra Load), which is often important on heavier SUVs. If you are unsure, select your vehicle details and confirm the exact fitment before checkout.
Choices are usually limited because this low-profile 22-inch size is most common in summer performance ranges. If you need year-round use, filter for all-season availability first and be prepared for fewer brand and tread options. Where all-season is not offered, a quality summer tyre is typically the main route for this size.
It depends on your vehicle setup and whether you run a staggered fitment. Keep the same brand, model and tread pattern across each axle wherever possible, especially on high-performance or four-wheel-drive vehicles. If your front and rear sizes differ, replace in matching pairs per axle for stable handling and predictable grip.
A 285-section tyre is commonly paired with wheels around 9.5J to 10.5J, but the approved range varies by manufacturer. Check the tyre data sheet for the exact rim-width limits, then confirm there is enough clearance to suspension and arches. Using the correct wheel width helps the tyre sit properly and wear evenly.
Many tyres in this size include a rim-protector bead, which is useful with a short 30-profile sidewall. Run-flat versions may be available from certain ranges, but availability varies by brand and rating. If switching to run-flats, confirm your car is set up for them and order matching run-flat tyres across the axle.
