street tire need advice
#1
the truck: 2002 RCSB RWD 5.3L with minor mods ( intake manifold, LT with true dual) and a belltech 3/4 drop on 2014 gmc 20'' all-terrain
It will most likely be use on the street , I might go to the drag strip 2-3 next summer , plan on doing less than 5000 miles in my summer. I drive the truck pretty hard when I take it for a spin !
295/40r20 or 295/45r20 not sure yet
I've look at a few brands and stop at Falken S/TZ05 or FK453CC
Any one as tried them before ? would you recommend something else ?
I'm in canada so a tire that is sold for 150 $ U.S. goes for 245$ CND and I can't afford 500$ per tire !
Thanks

Those might rub with you being lowered in the front that much and you wanting to drive it like you stole it.
I almost rubbed with 275/55/20 on a 2/4 drop.
I have no comment of either tire you posted, never seen either. I do like the nitto nt 420s for a truck tire.

Unless you are just dead set on the falkens stay away from them... Heavy as hell, no traction in rain and they dont wear well... I personally prefer nittos, hankooks or a kumho over the falkens... At least asfar as truck tires go...

I've got ST II's on my 06 SS, and had them as well as the original ST's, on a few other trucks. They are a high load rated tire meant for sport trucks. Not the stickiest out there but they hold up well on heavy vehicles. Downside is a good mash of the pedal will annihilate them. They're not maximum traction tires. But they're also pretty cheap.
