I need advice on my tires on my 2022. I don’t off road and live in the city where streets are crappy full of pot holes. Do you suggest I keep current tires or is it ok to get a bigger rim and different tire size more for appearance. Is there something in the middle that may work? Please help thanks.

I daily drive around in NYC for 11 years, stock tires are just fine.
You may want to research (Forscan) for airing down the tires to absorb the potholes!!!
I run 36 to 38 psi. in the front and 32 to 34 psi, in the rear, for my Gen 1 E class tires.
But I have a Tune and can adjust the Low Tire Warning light down to 30 psi.
You should be able to a least air down to 36 psi. before the warning pops on.

Going to a bigger rim will have a negative effect, you want as much side wall as possible.
You may want to consider going to 37" tires

This may be a typo. Correct air pressure is always located on the driver's side door jamb.
Fixed the 40 psi. I forgot I was in the Gen 3 section.
It's well known fact that that airing down the tires makes any Gen Raptor ride better on the pavement and necessary for off-roading.

"Correct" in this case assumes that you are loaded at GVWR. When you do that you want 38 all around and that's what I do. It works well. But when I'm empty, there's less load and the tires will wear in the middle, it rides a little rough, and the rear will hop around(gen2) if I run at 38. I've found 36F/34R to work really well when I'm empty. If you want to be really a n a l about it, you can drive over some baby powder and adjust the pressure until the track is even. I'm too lazy for that.
