    IMO the hankook 265/50/20. i paid 140 for my Goodyear Fortera's, its 30.5 tall instead of 31.3. i love the way they ride. they do not feel as heavy as 275/55s did on my truck.

    At that size they are 44$ more expensive. So my question is.... Are the hankooks 176$ better than the nittos?


    If I go hankooks it will probably be the 275/55 unless someone shows me a better deal somewhere and if I go nitto it will be the 265/50 and the price is the best in the group by a long shot. Both are vrated and similar all the way around. Anyone have experience with one and think its better for a particular reason? Better yet anyone know where I can get a better price than discount(seems they are impossible to beat these days)

    i used to run the Nitto 404s for the rear, i currently have them on the front. The 404 wore pretty well for being abused as much as they were, my fronts after 20k miles still look decent in the middle. I chose hankooks cause of the price and the size available. now that i have them on the truck and some miles with them. Im very suprised on how well they hook up the power i make, they are a very solid and stable tire at speeds and wear so far looks great. with that being said ill replace the nittos with hankooks when the fronts get bad

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
