About the 275/50R22 size
Current GM full-size 22 in size (32.8 in), H/V rated with 111 load. Highway SUV tires (Defender LTX M/S2, Alenza, CrossContact); pricey but well stocked.
The numbers mean: 275 mm section width, sidewall height 50 % of that width, and a 22-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 32.8 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

What vehicles use 275/50R22 tires?
275/50R22 is original equipment on Chevrolet Tahoe (2021-2024, RST/Premier/High Country 22 in), Chevrolet Suburban (2021-2024, 22 in), GMC Yukon (2021-2024, Denali/AT4 22 in), Cadillac Escalade (2021-2024), Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2019-2024, High Country 22 in), GMC Sierra 1500 (2019-2024, Denali Ultimate 22 in), Nissan Armada (2021-2024, 22 in), among others.

What is the best 275/50R22 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Continental CrossContact LX25, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Ironman All Country H/T is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 275/50R22 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
