Default Tire Choice in a 275/45R20 what you guys recommend

Hey guys looking for some tires for my RCLB sierra with 4/6 drop i drive the truck once in a while in summer only and want something thats gonna grip so thread life i dont really care about.

Looking at a set of 275/45R20 on a set of 14 sierra 20x9" wheels.

I was looking at a set of Nitto 420V whats your guys input on these tires ?

No imput on the Nitto's I do like the asymmetrical tread design on that tire. I've run the Hankook Ventus in the 275/45/20 and they wore great lasting over 8 years. I'm on the Toyo Proxes ST now. During the last two years and with quite a few burnouts, rotating every other 3000 mile oil change... they are wearing well too. The Hankook's seem to have a little better grip around turns than the Proxes. If you get the Nittos start a review thread... they may be my next choice.

i have been through several changes of the Hankooks. Was always satisfied. Of course traction on the street is subjective. They are good for what they are and relatively cheap.

I don't have the 420V but the 420S that the V replaced has been fantastic and according to my tire guy, people like the V even more. I have over 40k of mixed burnouts, towing, and gravel road driving on them and they look to have another 30k left in them. I wouldn't hesitate to get the 420V.

Ended up picking up some firestone indy 500 in a 275/40R20 They are 1.7" smaller which is a tad bit .75" lesser in height then the factory wheels. I hope they look decent and not to small. I would of rathered a 275/45 but i want something thats going to stick.
