Nitto NT555 is supposed to have some good grip.
I was going to get the Nitto 420s but went a lil cheaper.
And if you really want some noticeable tread the Nitto INVO is also supposed to be great wet or dry and has some tread that turns heads.

I just got a set of Hankook Ventus ST RHO6 but can't say yet how they stick. Had a good rating on discount tires and they were priced good.
I'll get em put on soon enough.

Thats pretty good, same time as me, but +5 on mph. I forgot about the invo's. One of my friend had those on his L, but he was stock. I've seen the 555's, but for a 20" they are $50 more per tire than the BFG's.

I have the Hankook Ventus on the RST in a 275/45/20. Paid 135 each for them at pepboys and im pretty sure they're Z rated. traction is aliright but i think its due to the non-posi lol.

I've looked at the Ventus's before. They are pretty hard compound similar to my Falkens. I think i'll go w/ the BFG's. Hopefully they'll work for me.

The 555's are not crap or anything i mean before he had the stock rubber on it the goodyear f1's and those were just plain stupid. Nothing in first or second was usable for him with those.
On the mph yeah the truck was run on the street tires so it didn't hook like it should have really so it basically could have went high 11's. But in any even the L's tend to trap higher mph due to the tranny gearing in em vs our 60e trucks.
Of course you might be 80e? If so then it would be fairly close tranny gearing but he was still stock gears...i forget what they are 3.73/3.90??? i forget....

No, i still have the 60e. And i think they have 3.73's not too sure though. My buddy has the 555's on his cammed T/A with about 400rwhp, and he hooks perfect most of the time. But I don't have the weight distribution he does either.
