Need help choosing a tire

[svt54]

Looking for a little insight. I have a 2025 Flash that I bought recently. I kept the wheels off my old ICE F150 and plan to put them on this one.
They are 22x10 +30 Forgestar X14s. I love the wheels and want to stick with them. They are due tires and this is where I need input.

I am looking at the Hankook ION HT, that only come in a 275/50 for a 22. They will fit, but will likely stretch just a bit on a 10 inch rim.

I have owned and liked the 305/45R22 Toyo Proxes ST3 and the Nitto 420V on my ICE trucks.

All 3 tires are basically the same diameter as my factory 20s. The wheels are lighter than the factory wheels.
Would you go with the 275 EV tire for the sake of range, noise and tread wear, or one of the other two for style. Anyone have experience with the Nitto or Toyo on a Lightning and know what sort of range hit it would be?
Am i overthinking this? Any input is welcomed.

Welcome!

"Overthinking" is better than "not thinking." Trust me on this.

Check the weight rating on the rims you want to use. The Flash isn't as svelte as your old ICE F150.

You are going to find that the Lighting is very quiet compared to an ICE F150. Some people don't seem to mind adding some road noise to get a different tire, while others (I'm in this camp) avoid it as much as possible.

As for range, you will almost certainly take a hit with wider tires. The question you have to overthink is, "Does it actually make any difference in my day-to-day driving?" If you're running less than, say, 20 or 30 miles a day, then it only means a few more electrons every night. If you're routinely coming home every day with just 10% SOC left in the battery.... uhhhh. As to, "How much of a hit?" I have no experience to offer so I'll leave it to others to jump in.

I think you'll love the truck.

My average day I plug in with 75 to 80%. I have a place at the lake that is 54 miles each way, but it's getting a charger this weekend. I make a 400 mile trip for work a half dozen times a year, but the truck won't make that non stop either way.

I am probably over thinking it. I absolutely love the truck.

wow, I am impressed with your knowledge of 'tires', and there are MANY!!

no, I just put the good old Walmart replacements around my truck just the other month, after 60,000 or so on the originals, probably even too early...

ARROYO Eco Pro H/T 275/65R18 116H a/s All Season... $118.60 each with $18 each installation, etc.
Scheduled delivery of tires to store, easily, and set installation the first appointment of the next morning - they were replaced in about 45 minutes. Done.

interestingly, I also just put some of the same on our newer KIA EV9, with the 255/60R19 size...
the EV9 shipped originally from Korea, and came with 'EV tires', meaning they look like 'normal' tires, but have an internally glued FOAM interlining, supposedly to lower road noise. Not so interestingly, many/most tire shops, and Walmart, won't 'fix' or 'plug' or 'patch' these types of tires - I suppose they don't want to deal with the messy 'glue/adhesive' that these include...
