Ok so since I can't run my 17's with the DR's at the Mile. I am gonna get me some of the polished 20" GMC stockers for the Tx. Mile. I am having trouble finding stuff that is W and Y rated. I am look for something in the 29"-30" range. I have found the Avan ST and they are Y rated but cant seem to find anything else. I know that 265 50 20's look good on the truck, but would go narrower if i could. What do yall run or know of that fits what i need.
what speeds are you expecting?
Go Z rated Pirelli p zero or Goodyear
i just did a quick search on tire rack. nothing in 265/50/20. but if you go with a 255/50/20 theres 3 that are Y rated. 2 pirelli and one Michelin. if you go with a 275/45/20 theres about 12 tires that will work from anywhere from $115 a tire (i wouldnt run that khumo) up to $415 a tire
Gotcha, I will check Tire rack Thanks

Z-rated and a dang good price for a very popular tire here on this site. I can think of at least 4 members running these in different sizes. Everyone is very happy with them.
not gona try a drag radial out back so you can hook a little better?
I agree with Kerrige on the RH06. I run them on my rears and they seem to hold up fairly well.
Put some M&H back there and let it eat!!!!
I've got M&H 325 45 17 but they are not allowed at the mile so gotta do something else.
I could have sworn Flaco had them at the mile???Quote:

Here are the rules yall tell me what it looks like
4.6 TIRES: DOT-approved tires in good condition are required to be used. The tire speed rating must exceed the speed rating that the car is attempting to achieve. For more info on speed ratings: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=35
4.6.1 All tires must have an equal (or greater) Load Carrying Rating and Speed Rating than the original (OEM) manufacturer’s requirement.
4.6.2 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: The use of tires with better ratings than OEM is recommended.
4.6.3 Drag radials (DOT spec) are not approved.
4.6.4 Drag racing (DOT-spec) “skinnies” are not approved.
looks like NO M&H then..
i know the RH06's are fine at 160ish, what's another 20mph? :lol:Quote:

They hooked okay, but drove horrible, just like slicks. I switched to the NT05s and they drive and handle a million times better, and hook better than the big ass MT tires did... I have no clue how, but They do. I will say I had my rear wheels widened to 13", and I know that helps, but my buddy has the same tires on 8.5" wheels and they work well.Quote:

I am running the 05s in a 315/35/20 on 9" wheels with a 275/40/20 up front. It handles great. I just bought a set of Invos for all 4 corners because I am curious how they perform. I have read good things about both and like my 05s but the Invo is suppose to be a more all around tire. Go with 05s if you want performance. BTW if you are running 20s and interested lemme know, I will make a deal on my set. Less than 1K miles on them. I am a tire whore kind of...
Dude I thought you were joking. I just saw that you had those on your truck. doesnt the m/s stand for mud and snow?Quote:
