Thread: Nitto NT420s 305/50/20 Any good?

  1. #1

    Nitto NT420s 305/50/20 Any good?

    Well I need to buy some new tires for the tire lathe. The 295/45/20s I have now are about gone and are a little rough. The road between home and work is a lot rougher than it was when i first bought the 295/45s so I need a little softer ride. I'd like to have some BFGs but I refuse to pay that much for something that wears out.

    I had the nitto 404s and loved them. I didnt have enough power to smoke them, but they did really well in the rain and on dry pavement

    I've been running 404s for the last three years, they ride nice.

    I'll second the 404s...but I would be cautious of any other Nitto tire. But that's just me. I can give props to the tires I am running: Sumitomo Tire Line: HTR Sport H/P

    I am running the sumitomos now. The 404 doesnt appear to be available in 20" sizes.

    UHP's are very sticky.

    I ran Kumaho's, and they were garbage. I did put on a Yokohama Parada Spec, and it had more dry grip. All of those were 305/50/20.
    Gone, but not forgotten!

    I have Nitto 404's and when I wore the back 2 out went to get them replaced, and didn't make them any more, so had to go with kumhos and didn't like them as much.
