Tires for 20" Rims

[M1GarandGuy]

What are you guys doing for tires for 20" wheels? I presently have the 18" stockers on my truck and have thought about going to the Factory Reproduction '01/'02 20" for show season. What size? Brand? Thanx!

[M1GarandGuy]

Thanx. Did you have to recalibrate the speedo?

Not for 295/40/20s, only approx 2% off.

 

[M1GarandGuy]

Thanks. Any suggestions on where to get them at a good price?

How's the grip on them?

 

[MJG]

I use to have Falken Ziex S/Ts in 295-40-20 and they were cheap.
Traction was minimal but tire lasted long and looked good. Don't expect much grip on any tire.

I'm running Falkens on mine. Since I'm a Tire Rack and Discount Tire installer, I got them there. They look good, but like MJG said, don't expect a ton of grip from them.

I've been wanting to go back to 18s (or smaller) since I'm getting into drag racing my L more.

You guys are great. Thank you for the help. I guess I'll stick to my 18's. I'm going to need a cleaner set - mine are somewhat chewed. Anywhere I can get OE or replica 18's?

not to bash all of you that have falkens. ive heard so many bad reviews about those tires that i stayed away. the bf's are worth every penny + they are half price on tirerack. they hook better than my 18'' hankooks in the rain

I used to run Falkens, had ZERO traction with them. Now I run 275/40/20 General Grabber UHP's up front and 305/35/20 Nitto Dr's in the back.

295/40/20 dunlop sport maxx...best tire I have ever rode on

 

[69stang]

295-40-20 Falkens here....:nonono: At least they were cheap.
It is encouraging to know that there are better tires out there though, I'd almost given up on 20's ENTIRELY because of the complete lack of traction when running these tires. I must have forgotten that you get what you pay for :shrug:.

Same here..with no complaints! :beer:

 

[evil04svtcobra]

if i owned a lightning i'd run nitto 555r 305/35/20

 

[Kryo-Genik]

id run the nitto drag radials if it were me...

 

[eabigrick]

i got nitto triple nickles on mine and they are bout as garbage as garbage gets. i only run 25lbs in the rear and they still slip and slide around. never been impressed with their drag radials either.

I run 275/40/R20 Hankooks on my truck. The rollout on mine are the exact same as 295/45/18's. They were 106 a tire. Been trying to sell them for a week or two now. They are in the Tire/Wheel section for sale.

I was actually about to buy a set of the 20x9 replicas myself. Is 295 the widest we can run on the 9" rim??
