About this guide
285/45R22 is a common large-SUV size, but it is not enough information to buy safely. The exact load index and speed rating must meet the placard for the vehicle and wheel, and the same model can have a different casing or rating in another size. These are distinct current tire models sold in the stated size; prices are per tire and should be checked against the exact suffix at checkout. An all-terrain tire is not automatically a winter tire, and a 3PMSF symbol—not the tread appearance—is the useful severe-snow indicator.

Buying tips
- Enter the exact vehicle in a tire retailer’s fitment tool and match its placard load index and speed rating; 22-inch SUV wheels do not share one requirement.
- Check whether the listing is per tire and whether the tire is XL, HL or LT; these markings change capacity and sometimes ride quality.
- If winter service matters, look for the sidewall’s 3PMSF symbol and follow local requirements rather than assuming any all-season or all-terrain tire qualifies.
