F8L,

Are your tires 275/45's?? What kind?
Aye they are. Goodyear GTIIs...

Thge Ventus and Falkens look a lot better IMO but I don't know how they perform. When these tires are gone I'm gonna try one.

These are the tires they have in our size at Discount Direct

I want to try the Hankooks. I hear lots of good things about them. Plus I have seen them on a truck at the stealer and they look nice!!

I hear the tracion is no good on these tires which I agree with but being my first set of 20s and having a one-legger I cannot say for sure.
Sweet!!!! You guys are going to make me stop spending money on performance and get me some 20s or 22s. I want to bling like some of you guys!!!

I will probably try the Hankoos next also. they look very clean


Slow, I don't know what you're bowing for. You truck is 10 steps ahead of mine in the looks dept.!

I just installed the TYC bumper lenses and Trenz grille today. The headlights should be in next week as well as the Hotchkis 2/4 drop. I'll get pics when those items are on.

That tire with Stingray IIIs is my exact tire combo. I wish winter was over. I miss my wheels

My truck has a 2/4 drop with 285/45/20 and Falken. Handling is like a F1 car.

Default Any more input?

Thanks for all the replies guys. I interested in any input on any tire in this size. I know I won't be going with the Goodyear's cause I had them in 285/60/16 and considered them to be dangerous in the rain. I'm thinking of trying the Hankook's or some Cooper Zeon's. Falkens are another tire I may consider, as well as some Fuzion (never heard of them, but they look nice). These tires will be going on a 20X8 so I don't want to go too wide.

I'd like to see the pics with the 2/4 and these rims and tires. It'll give me a good idea of how mine will look.

Anyone else that wants to share pics, it would be greatly appreciated!
