THX. Im fairly certain mine are 31" but I do know my speedo is off by 3 mpg when checked against my GPS. I need to re-adjust with my SC tuner.

yup. thats a 33" tire and its about the same height as what comes stock on the ram with the factory 20s. when you get some tires, find some that are low rolling resistance (or something like that) so you can save some extra gas

How big of a difference in gas mileage will I see going from 20's to 22's? Ive been avg about 16.4 to 17.0 per gallon. Im thinking of getting the Nitto Dune Grapplers now how do I find out if they are low rolling resistance?

well, it depends on what type of 22's you get. if you can get some that are lighter than your stocks ones right now, you should hopefully get better gas mileage. id probably ask a tire shop if you want to find some good low rolling resistance tires. they will direct you to something that can get good gas mileage
