The XZA2 Energy tires will wear better than earlier models. I am on my third set. There is a big difference.
You will need Centrematics for the 24.5 wheel. The brake drums on the BB are so large the 22.5 CM will not fit. Don't be surprised if you need to bend the valve stem to clear the centrematic. Your set will include a tool to bend the valve stem. I have heard of new model of CM that has an indent to clear the stem. Talk to centermatic, they will advise you correctly. If you are using a tire pressure monitoring system, there could be a conflict if you have to bend the valve stem. The valve stem will not be in the center of the hole on the wheel after proper clearance is obtained. One could add a valve seem extension but the TPMS sensor will be in harms way sticking out of the wheel.
I would try to find the newer CM with an indent if they exist.
