Moregrip and Bud8fan have the goodyear gtII's and seem to like them. That's what i'm getting.
IMHO I like the Nitto's. I got 50k on a set with out rotating.
havent ever seen a complaint from the toyo proxies. thats what im going for when im out of rubber
A guy I work with runs coopers because there cheap, handle good and are pretty sticky.
I got an "in" on the Toyo's. I might get them. I couldn't find nittos in 20's. What model # are you referring to?
BTW...Truck ran 14.17 1/4 mi in cooler weather 82* @ night!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
woohoo! I can taste the 13's
good run...oh tires......there is sooo many good ones out there anymore you have to kinda go with what you like...you can go to the tire rack.com and check out the comments form all...
I run the 404 Extremes but now that I look at what you are running you may want something more than V rated tires. The NT 555's come in 20" and are Z rated though. Here are the specs that I found.
404 Extreme
*255/50 R20 109V 11.5 29.92 10.24 7.0-(8.0)-9.0 2271@50 694
*275/55 R20 116V 11.5 31.89 11.10 7.5-(8.5)-9.5 2756@50 651
*305/50 R20 120V 11.5 31.89 12.28 8.5-(9.5)-11.0 3086@50 651
*305/40 R20 112V 11.8 29.61 12.17 10.0-(11.0)-12.0 2469@50 702
555

My bad I thought that the 555R which is a drag radial came in 20's also.
WISH I COLD GET THE NITTO 555 BUT THEY WOULD LOOK DUMB ON MY TRUCK. THE SIDEWALLS ARENT TALL ENOUGH.
i have gt2's and i dont like them. They have bad traction. Cant get a good lauch or a 30 punch from them without spinning them on the street ( any pavement) of course. They work well on the track though the hook up nice, but then again it could be due to the weith of the rim/ tire combo on the 20's. Heard good things about the proxy's, Gonna try and get some nito 555r;s in 18's next.
ive heard lots of bad from the gtII's
I have the gtII's in 20" on my tahoe and I do not like them at all. Can't wait to get rid of them.
