The closest you can get on the Ventus is 295/45/20
45 series is better anyway.

That is my current size, it's 30.5" diameter. Suggested rim size is 8"+ My rims are 8.5"
A smaller diameter will help me at the track, I am crossing the the traps at just over 5K but I don't want it to look funny rolling on mini tires!

just my .02 being a tech at a tire shop (America's Largest ) dont EVER buy generals on purpose. They're terrible, seperate almost like clock work and the edgewear is hideous no matter how soft or hard u drive the truck.

I've have goodyears, falkens, and nittos on my truck. For what its worth I think Nitto's have hooked the best out of all the tires I've had. I'd never buy goodyears again in my life either. Hankook Ventus are pretty decent, AJ's had them on his truck for awhile, maybe he'll chip in. And if ur looking for sizes go to Tirerack.com. They have awesome search features. And use disounttire.com's tire calculator to see the differences in highth and width

I tried TireRack and got this..."Sorry, no tires match your current search criteria."

What size can I go to that wont look silly and give me a good footprint?

It seems every time I buy tires they become discontinued and then I have a blow out and have a mismatched set.

Go under the search by rim size. They'll tell you what is avaliable for that rim. if you wanna keep it wide look for 275+ and then the second number (45, 50, 55) etc is the percentage of the width that it is tall. So for example I have 275/50/17s. I really want 275/55s but my new boss is scatter brained. PM me what size you have now Trever and Ill tell you what sizes are possible and would look good
