305/50r20 street tire ideas

Josh@DirtyDiesels · Nov 3, 2013

Anyone have any suggestions for some street tires that ARE NOT nitto nt420s' ? I need to get something new but I'm sick of seeing everyone and their brother with 420s... They were cool 2 years ago but SOOOO old now... any ideas?

What about running a regular terra grappler?

Cause I'm not too into them. I like the street tire look and it helps that they don't cost much

I like them seem to hook well also.

Have thought about those or the proxes. Anyone use the proxes? Also saw the Kuhmo ecsta. They look interesting...

AT2's are nice. 40k miles on the ones on the 6.7 and they still look relatively new.

Zeon ltz is a great looking tire

I remember everyone running proxies before 420s...there was a reason for the switch, as to why...no clue

Ive ran the kumhos on a subi and on a car they were great...do they go to a d range for a truck?

Looked at the cooper Zenons? Had a buddy had them on his dodge, not as street as 420s but not an a/t either.

Couragia s/u looks good too

Yes. They are sweet tires. Only issue is it looks like now you can only get a 305/55 which I don't want.

Those actually don't look bad. Never messed with federal tires for trucks but we have great luck with federals on the drift cars.

I ran cooper h/t plus in 305/50r20 on my 02 and cut 1.7 60s pretty consistently

proxes are a good tire, st2s work well at the track, the original st proxes is hard or impossible to find, much softer tire but they work well at the track.

I have a set of cooper zeons on the race truck, i like the look, they are a pretty old tire so the rubber is a bit hard and glazed over now but they still cut 1.68 60s

Had Pirelli Scorpions on my yukon denali in a 20. Road walked like a biatch, followed every groove in the road...swapped out to goodyear eagle ls2's, and it goes straight with no hands on the wheel.

I have the khumo ecsta on my little white truck. And maybe they have an upgraded tread design by now. Seems like a harder rubber. Sorta slippery in the rain too.

These are actually what I was going to get. I love the way they look. I'll deal with how they perform lol. BTW are those 305's on 12's?
