Default 20" street tires

not sure this is the right section but only one i could see that had to do with tires

Summer is slowly creeping up so ive got my mind set on a some 20x9's for my truck. Been doing alot of research on tires and what size i want to go with. Not doing any off road so i want a good street tire but also something that will last a decent amount of time

not sure what size i want to do yet, truck is lowered 2-3" i front and rear is blocks removed and 2" drop shackles.

Thinking a 295/45r20 but in a way i feel they will look tiny, next would be a 285/50r20 , lose a little width but sidewall would look a little bigger

love to see some pics of trucks with 20's with different tire sizes, and some recommendations of which tires everyone is using. Im thining toyo or maybe a nitto

Thanks guys

Ived had good luck with the falkens or the nt420s. I think with that drop a 275/45 or a 255/50 would look good

I have a 3-5 and just installed a set of 305-50-20. The tires look good. But to me they look to big even though they are the same diameter as the stock tire. ill try to get some pictures.

I put a lowering leafs on from a rcsb (hotchkis lowering leafs) it rode like crap- I changed out to stock leafs and put shackels on it and soon hangers to give me same look

Truck is 2wd it didn't have blocks to remove
