Finally finished!! Need tire/DR recommendation...
It's been a while but its finally finished. (4.8, baby cam, smallish turbo - 542/589 @ tire). Looking for a set-up for the 20" x 9". The 255/55r20 Duelers will just roast above ~40% throttle. Need it to stick better on the street with the 20's. Suggestions?

Congrats and nice looking ride!
I've had MT ET Street S/S's on my old TBSS with about 650whp that did well for a daily type tire. Had M&H Racemaster's 325/45/17 for the strip which were a good tire as well.
M&H 275/40/20 would fit a 20x9 and is a 28.6" tall tire so that still gives ya some height and Mickey Thompson offers the same tire.

I was looking at the 275/40r20 Firehawk Indy 500 for street duty (I really need to replace posi and gear before I try a sticky tire on a sticky surface).

Well if that's the case, I'll just spend $200/tire instead of $400/tire. The issue I'm having now is I can't even 'roll into it' without it wanting to swap ends! The old Duelers are probably hard and a harder compound than a DR or even the Firehawk Indy 500 I'm looking at.

Are you wanting to keep a 31" tall tire to match the 255/55? Nitto makes the new 555RII in a 305/50/20 which is 32" tall and will fit on a 9" wheel. I have a new set of these in a different size I have yet to try but have read good reviews. They should have similar street manners as the MT SS which is good for a daily that may see some rain.

I did not know they made a 305/50! And it does say fits a 8.5" - 11" rim. Not really a Nitto fan but nobody else makes one any taller than 29". I am also never against trying something new...
I wonder how bad it might 'squirrel' around on the 9" rim??
