I have nothing to add to this topic but I can't believe nobody has mentioned the Hank Hill reference here?!?

I really feel like the KO2 was ideal in that size. It’s a D rated tire vs the E on the Toyo and Nitto. Decent all around performer and great highway ride.Once I find a tire shop that will put the 295/50r22's on my stock 22" rims I'll post here on the fit and ride. It definitely seems to be the ideal "non-lifted" fit for the combo of adding more sidewall and a smidgen of width. Now, to choose: BFG KO2, Toyo OC ATIII or the Nitro Ridge Grappler.....
Hey there MVFan... how did the 295/50r22 on stock rims go? Any comments on fit or pics?Once I find a tire shop that will put the 295/50r22's on my stock 22" rims I'll post here on the fit and ride.

The manufacturer put on what got them by regulations. The 285/45’s help with mpg, all the other crap helps them pass govt exhaust regs. It’s more about the bean counters bottom line than performance or utility.Stick with what the manufacturer designed and engineered to be ideal for the truck.
Here are the 285/55’s. On a non leveled truck I think the 295/50’s would be perfect. If you are level/lifting it the 285/55 looks great imho. I got alot more sidewall and extra height without any fit hassle. The 285/55 would likely also fit a non leveled truck but they might rub in entry/exit mode. The wheels looked super tight when lowered to that. This picture is in aero mode. I have zero complaints on the Toyo’s btw. Ride character is almost exactly the same as stock. To describe the difference I will say in a straight line it’s the same. Turning, the front end isn’t as responsive but that’s to be expected with the larger heavier tire. However it’s still great. I went from a sports sedan to a luxury sedan in terms of handling if that makes any sense.
