Well, dad has agreed to buy me tires for Xmass, now the question is, what to get. Keep in mind that I do drive this truck every day, and will be for years, so longevity (sp?) is an issue. However, I still want a good performance tire with good traction (traction is a preety big problem right now :burnout: ) Any prefrencess? :help:
What size tire you running on the truck now? I am running Nittos 555 on my truck its 17 inch rim. I have had good life out of those, considering my first set was BF G's G-force. They gripped hard as hell but it was such a soft tire iI went through them in no time. :twocents:
Kumho ecsta stx- wears like iron and grips better than any tire in its class. If you want really good traction you will have to go with a tire that will wear quickly. I have burned the kuhmos on my trtuck since the summer and they don't show it at all. My stock tires melted under throttle, and traction was non exsistant.
I have the kumho's Ecsta STX 275/60/17 and I'm very happy with them, I still have traction problems but the kumho's have a lot of improvement compared with the stock tires.
Thanks for the advice guys
im gonna go with the Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712's 275/40/17(and 245/45/17) in about a month...Tirerack has all 4 for like $430, and my buddy has the 20's and has over 20k miles on em.
Kuhmo's here too
I run Nitto truck tires. They balanced out good and ride great. I am happy
I second the Nitto 404s. Then are much better than the Yokohama AVS I had before. However I have heard extreamly good things about the Kumhos.
i have friends that say get the Yoko AVS and the Nittos but say stay away from the Kuhmos...maybe because they drive sports cars the tires have slightly different driving characteristics.
I cannot, in good concience, recomend the Yoko AVS/ST to you. Although they look really cool, they are not the best tires you can get, especially for how much they cost. My Nittos ride smoother, arnt as noisy, have better traction both wet and dry, and are ~$80 cheaper per tire.
Hahaha you guys are soooooo funny you bust on ricers then you run ricer tires! I guess almost everything is touched by Japan nowdays!
ricer tires?
Techonlogy!!!!!! Who has the money to spend it on making things better and cheaper? Plus the LS1 are maded in Canada or Mexico. Go figure. I had a Toyota pick-up for I got smart and wanted more room. They run for ever just change the oil ever year or two (J/K) 3,000 miles.
Ya I hear ya, my LS1 was cast in Mexico and assembled in Canada, so much for American Iron lol! :point: Soon they will be making Toyota trucks in San Antonio Texas!
:rofl: Just have to say it. TEXAS GOT RICE. hahaha j/k. At least American's will be working at the plant. The plant should help the unemployed and all the locals. Allen can you tune a Toyota yet? :rofl:
