Default is anyone running Nitto NT05R 315/35/20's

I desperately need to do something for traction. My plan is to make it AWD, but I don't see that happening until next winter. I really want the truck to look pretty much stock (maybe lower it a little) and get better traction. I know I won't be setting any records, I just want it to hook better. I have an extra set of Joe Gibbs wheels that I have been debating widening a pair and narrowing a pair and going with 245/45/20's in the front, and 315/35/20's in the rear. If anyone has these what have you been able to cut for a 60' time? Any advice appreciated.

Not that exact size, but I'm running the 305/45/18 which are ~1/4" taller and ~1/2" narrower and they are useless for me at the track. They are alot better on the street than the previous 555R though.
Just FYI... MT makes the ET Street Radials in a 305/35/20 to give you another option.

Thanks, I was unaware anyone else made a DR 20. What have you been able to cut for a 60' time (I know the 18" should work better)

Usually cut high 1.7x to mid 1.8x on nittos, mid-low 1.6x on slicks with good prep. High 1.9's on nittos, mid-low1.7x on slicks at my local track.
