what 265/35/22 tire/air bags??

I just purchased rims and I am having trouble choosing a tire because I really dont have any idea which drives the smoothest and handles the best. Any input on which brand tire to buy would be appreciated. I also have had mixed claims on how wide a tire i can go when i put airbags on the car without rubbing. I want to go as wide as possible. HELP!!

I would go for the 30 series if your getting bags for shure ! 265/30/22 in the front and if you want 285/30/22 if you do that you cant rotate tires its not really worth it i would just do 265/30/22 all around no rub at all and plenty of room to work with as far as droping it and the tires sidewall is flush with the tire perfect with the 265

I just got the 265/30/22 Continental Conti Sport Contact 2 over the P-zero , the only choices , also if you want to go wider in the back its hard to match the brand i tried last week. i also dropped it 2 inches (eibach sportline kit) and still no rub at all and there is room. awsom handling !!! ride quality isent like stock but still enjoyable.

I have 265 35 22 all the way around. I have 22x9.5 wheels with a positive 15 offset. You can go with 295 30 22 in the rear, I think it depends on offset of wheels. The difference between a 30 and a 35 is about 1 inch when you drop it.
