    Looking to change all my truck tires to 11r 22.5. Currently running low pro 22.5s. My question is, would there be any issues leaving my drives on low pros, and changing my steers to 11r 22.5 till i run my drives out? My drives still have alot of life, steers need replaced soon.

    One truck has 22.5 drives and drop axle. All other tires and trailer drop are 24.5.

    The only issue which really isn't an issue are the brakes. Because the drives spin faster.

    So basically. Brakes would be your only issue with different tire diameters. But nothing to really worry about with low and hi.

    Having 22 and 24 would be another story.

    Maybe you’ll need another set of steers, by the time the drives wear out?! Carrying 1 old steer for a spare in any position has its advantages. I tried running 24.5 tall on steers, with 24.5 LP on Drives, on my 92 WS. Some swore by it, claimed it made them ride better. Never noticed any difference.
