Default Best traction 20" tires

I want to be cost effective because money is tight but I would like opinions on the 20" tires that hook the best and where to find best prices because I have a 6 liter with a 150 shot in my RCSB so it needs all the help possible. And if anybody is running traction bars or anything that could help me and try to be cost effective. Thanks alot

im running hankook ventus st on my 22's with a 6.0 and some long bars... they don't hook but come to think it doesn't hook well on radials either. The hankooks hook decent but the 150 is gonna blow almost anything!

Tire size would help as some of the sticky tires may not come in your size. I personally want to try the nitto nt05 that just came out

i am running 295/45/20 BFG KDW II's... a redesigned tread of the original KDW. they hook pretty good compared to everything else i had. there is also a DR for 20"

i went a 1.8 60' and 7.7x at the 1/8 mile on these street tires recently.

You must like bold jfwy I have Nitto 420S and they are nice but cost an *** load. I think general makes a decent tire. Stay away from sumitomo, they are a good everyday tread and wear decent but damn they wont hook worth a ****
