Tire time

[408.Luke]

i have nittos allterain tire, the problem with the mickys is u can only get the et street II's and the size, at 305 45 18 you will have to be dumped, look at the SS just go with the nitto 420's they should be plenty of performance for you

Devin - Where is that :sarcasm: smiley when I need it?

Stew - There is no way that I would need to run a "performance" tire like that. I don't make anywhere near close to enough power to warrant running a drag radial all the time. Sure they would be nice to have for going to the track but I need an every day tire.

Luke - Thats exactly why I want to stay in the 30" -31" tall range. I have about 2" of drop out back and stock ride height up front....IMO it would look kinda stupid with little tiny 28" tall tires.

I did some reading today and people seem to like the Falkens and Kumhos a lot. The BFG's had a couple more negative reviews...mainly about noise, but thats what a loud exhaust/stereo are for ...than the others I looked at.

All in all it will come down to what money allows for.

Thanks for all yalls help.

if your not looking for a performance tire theres only 1 way to go...michelin IMO. hell, my old michelin 255/55 18's grabbed better than any of the "performance tires" i tired out. they were also quieter, wore better and rode better.

I had a set of Michelins on the truck when I still had 16's and I hated the way it rode. I could spin for days on them. They were almost as loud as the BFG A/T's I put on after them.

I'm running the Toyo Proxies STII and i like them alot good wet or dry traction and their tread life seems to be pretty good.
