Status: offline 		There 2.8 tires and rims. 2.2 rims won't clear the axle hub holder on the Volcano SV.

Stock is 2.8 for sure. Some 2.2s will work, but not all. The advantage of the 2.2s is a bigger selection since it is a more common size. But as Wade pointed out, they can rub to the point you can not use them if you get the wrong ones.

not bad... 1062 is the number on the sidewall right? Nice 2.2 tire to run with by the way! Decent tread life outta them.
