Default Need Tire Opinions!!!!!!!!!!

I need some opinions on performance/street tires for my 03 ECSB 4.8 4.10's! I never go offroad and do not tow! They will be going on stock rims and the size on now is P235-75-R16. I will be getting 20's in about 4-5 months so I want these tires to be able to work good at the strip as well! Models and Sizes would help me alot!!!!

IMHO

if you are looking to go performance, stay away from big sized rims.
biggest I would go is a 17, but a 15 would be ideal if you could fit them on the trucks.( the disk brakes are to big)
the big rims look nice but it creates a lot of wieght to get spinning

I agree, I would stay from 20's if you want performance.

I know this may look kinda funny. But I would suggest that you get the drag radials by nitto. 245/50/r16. They hook up great and will give you some more gear plus they weight less than those stock tires that you have. So they are good all around except for looks. I have them on my truck and I ride on them everyday. They ride good to me.
