I had a set of 265/60-17's on avalanche rims and now have 255/50-18's on my torque thrusts. I had goodyear eagle F-1 supercars (275/40-18) before and they sucked *** I cant wait to drive the truck on Toyos again. They rode better and hooked way better.

I'm wondering TxSilverado was talking about racing me at HRP. If that's the case, I do have a red RCSB JGP truck, but it's not super charged. It sticks now, but a converter and pulley are coming.

Is there a 20" tire available that will hold with a 2600-3000 stall on a sticky track?

Yeah that was us at HRP. I will try to make the GTG on 3/19 also.

BTW- How much did the TB stall help you in ET? I'm just afraid traction will be impossible after a converter swap.

Thanks!
