Man I run a 16" bias ply at the track with skinnys and the sway on the big end some times is a hand full I would never run it on the street especially on a truck or recommend it to any one for street use
My 18" nittos on my car I can hook in 2nd (40/45mph) and with throttle control I can get out of the hole decent, I know my car is only 599/600 but it's much lighter then the truck so it's kinda a wash, my car climbs to 150mph fairly quick and it's stable with 15" wheels and 29" tall tire no way in the world would it be stable! If rather give up some traction for stability

The street tires on my truck are a 305/45/18 MT ET Street (discontinued style). I have also used Nitto NT05R and 555R in the same size. The MT's are the best hooking of the three, wear fast and are manageable in the rain. 555R are the best wearing and ok in the rain but traction is marginally better than a good street radial. NT05R have good traction, wear ok but are horrible in the rain. I wish MT would make the new S/S radial in 305/45/18 but only offer the ET Street R which would hook great but not have any wet manners.
