Found this absolute monstrosity on 22"s on FB as well. Dude is getting absolutely roasted in the comments and deservedly so.

How are you liking these? How is it on the highway. Hoping 20" rims and stiffer tires make for a more surefooted highway cruise
How does these ride vs stock?
How is the road noise?
I will be installing Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac RTs on my LC (20") within the next couple of weeks. I had excellent luck with these on my 2 prior Jeeps and the new RT line seems to be an improvement of the ones I had been running.
Stay tuned for further details

Did you put the Michelin Defender Plat275/65 on? Any turn or rub issues?
Defenders are fantastic tires. Quiet, great mileage, surprising snow performance for a non 3peak tire, and they last forever.
They aren’t all-terrain tires and you’ll give up some dirt and rock traction if that matters. They also look a little boring on these vehicles.
But - excellent tires.

I have the Wildpeak AT3W on my Tahoe, after running the Defenders I posted on above for 75,000 miles. I’d have to be honest and say that they aren’t as quiet as I might have been led to believe. But that could be me comparing them to the Defenders and not to reasonable expectations for an all terrain tire. They are great on trails, such as I’ve taken them on (nothing serious), very good in rain, and fine in snow. The Defenders are better in snow than they claim to be though; the difference there is not night and day.
The AT3s look really cool, and the road noise is fine if you expect it. Too soon to opine on durability.
I have a LC with 20 inch wheels. I am getting a shimmy when going over bumps in the road. I am use to cars versus a truck type vehicle. Is this just normal? I am taking it to the dealer on Friday to have them check the balance on the tires. But, if they check everything and I still have the same problem, I wanted to see if different tires would help the problem? I want all season tires and want to stay with the 20 inch wheels. Please let me know if you have any advice. I don’t plan on doing any off roading. I bought the vehicle because I wanted something different, liked the way it looked, and wanted to sit higher! And, I am a Badass Bitch! Just kidding!
