Default Need new tires

I need some new tires pretty bad. Right now I have some toyo proxes but want something that is a little stickier like the 305 nitto's but have no idea what to put on the front. I have 18 x 9's amercican racing torque thrust's. I like the nittos but is there anything that sticks pretty well and lasts a little bit longer.

the stickier the tire the less mileage you will get out of them. i have sold a few different tire brands in the past and i run toyo on my truck. i get decent mileage out of them and they do fairly well as far as all around traction. the bridgestone hp's seem to be a pretty good alternative and i have talked to people who really like the kumho's.

You can buy my Falkens. I really don't need them since I don't have rims anymore. I only used them for a month and half. They are pretty sticky from what I hear (search - goshawk just bought some and Illnali had some) and have a high wear rating. I have some pics if you are interested - look in the classified section for 285/60/18 Falkens.

Wow, I am getting desperate, huh?

Default Stock rims here

I put a new pair of Kuhmo's on the rear this weekend and WHAT a freakin' difference!!! Of course, I only have stock 16" rims, so, the widest I could find was 255/50/16 ZR-rated.

This beat the HELL out of the Goodyear HP Ultra Plus street tires I had. Never ran Nitto's or anything else, so, I don't have experience to compare them. I just know I am very happy with the Kumho's. Anyone else have 'em?
