I am about to put some 18" Boyd timeless 6s on my truck. two of them have 295/45/18 Nitto 555s on them. two of them have some DESTROYED Nitto 555Rs.

so i need two tires. i'm looking at these 3 tires in a 295/45/18:

nitto 555s
toyo proxes s/t
Hankook Ventus ST RHO6

I can get the nittos and the toyos for practically the same price. The hankooks are about $70 cheaper for the pair.

I know the nittos are tried and true, I can't go wrong with them. I've also heard a lot of good things about the toyos. I haven't heard much abotu the hankooks but $70 speaks (hell that's a tank of gas for me to finish off the 16s with! )

Also, I'm kinda worried the truck will look goofy with mis-matched tires front and rear.

Please post opinions and/or experiences regarding actual tread life (those ratings don't mean ****), noise, handling, wet and dry traction, and appearance.

 

you got these tires from tjohn

 

I've had my Toyos for 12K and I like them. They seem to stick well enough to dry pavement.

 

yeah. he has 20s on his truck now, and i got his truck tuned when we put the 4.8 in it, so he just up and gave them to me. they not perfect (of course you know that) but they'll be a lot better than the ugly 16s on my truck now

 

i liked my Hankooks , but I have had toyos or nittos
