I don't have stock tires, so I don't know the size. However, why make this statement and not provide the correct size then?

Think it might be 22mm, but 13/16ths works just as good.

Technically it's a 21mm. A sloppy 13/16" will work just fine.

I use 21mm, it fits properly. I also have far more metric socket sets than SAE sockets kicking around.

Sounds right j. I put my hand about 16" toward the end of my ratchet and apply most of my weight (175) which should net me about 165 ft-lb of torque on them. I worked it out years ago and don't think about it anymore.
