I have(or had) the exact same setup as 454. I cannot recomend the yokos to you. Although I did get 40K miles out of them, the were not the best tires I have owned. They were noisy, didn't ride smooth, and traction was less than desirable form a 200 dollar tire. I will have Nitto 404s on early next week when I get finished refinishing my rims. I will let you know how they do.
Your only other option for a 29" tire is a 255/55/18 which will fit nicely on a 8" rim.

 

I really don't know what tire I want now!?! I am defiantly ordering the rims Saturday. It will take 3 to 4 weeks for those, so I have time to really think about the rubber. I would like to run a 285, a wide tire. The reason for wanting 29" tire is that I don't want my truck to look like it need to be lower, you know what I mean? Any suggestions?

 

I'm running 18x8 Centerline archers with the Yoko AVS S/T tires-285/50/18.I can't really comment on the tires,so far I've been pleased but I only have about 1800 miles on them.You can check out some pics at

Anyone running the Nitto 404. BigKid would really like to see how you like them. What size are you going to run?

 

I had the 404 in a 275/60 when I first got my 18's before the truck was lowered and I liked them alot. I will have a set of 285/50 on by the end of the week once I am finished refinishing the wheels.

 

Great! Ordered the rims on Sat. They will be in, in about 3 - 4 weeks. About next week I am going to order the 404s 285-50-18. I had my mind set on the Yoko's, but it seems that they are hard to balance and they are noisy.

 

Sorry I did not get back to you on the back spacing......Yes I do!

 

Thats cool! I figured you did, just thought I would ask.

 

I wish this board would e-mail you when there is a new post.......It is so hard to keep up on everything!
