The 22.5's will be a lower profile tire to get the same height which will be a harder ride. I have even seen some Newell's with 24.5's which I don't care for the idea much. From my knowledge the 20's are really cheap to buy compared to the 22.5's. Especially in a bias ply. There is a guy on ebay selling them for $85.00 by the name of Tucker Tire. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=1467
I worked for tucker tire in covina ca in the 1990 or so Great guys and been around for a long time. I got a set of dunlops 22.5 for 120.00 each at century tire, And had a much better ride and after 10 years still no cracking in the tires, Tire black from turtle wax helped also.
