In Arkansas you had to watch the roads in the hill country after thunderstorms. Lots of gravel driveways that would puke sand/gravel in corners. Scared me to death riding a sport bike. Hit one once in a corner and the whole bike slid from mid lane to the yellow line with me leaned into the corner. Both tires, complete sideways skid but they grabbed at the yellow line. About 1/4 mile down the road I pulled over and walked around a bit so my breathing would return to normal.
Z - Good to hear the tire shop let you ride on the 22's before you made the final decision. My last GMC 4x4 had 20" wheels and it rode fine. Tires weren't low profile though. I am a 5%'er around these parts in that my trucks actually go further off road than just a maintained gravel road. Here is my GMC and my now 4Runner at the same place. 4Runner has 17's with beefier tires and it rides as good as the truck on road but much better off road.
