Best Tire Brand

sc_customs · 10-04-2005, 03:08 PM

I'm lookin to buy a new set of tires for the truck. size 275/45/R20. Anyone have any suggestions on which is the best out there for your buck?

I've done a bit of research and so far I'm still with the Goodyear Eagle GTII's. These are what I have on now, but I was lookin to go with a directional performance tire. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I have Hankook and they've been great.

Had them since May and they've been great. They were the cheapest tires I could get for my 20's. 275/40/20. I like them a lot. I believe within that tire size the next tire brand was like $60 more.

Yeah I had actually considered hankook but I had never heard of the brand so I was a bit skeptical.

So was I, but the guy at Discount sort of talked me into it. But I needed a cheap set and figured I'd try them out. They've been really great tires, in the wet and dry. If you'd like I can take a pic of them close up so you can get an idea of what they look like after 5 months of driving.

That would be much appreciated.

I just put Falkin on. They came highly recommended. Their tread life is rated around 460 and they're considered high performance (up to 130 mph). They're 285's and ride really nice and quiet and handle great. They only cost $113 each at Big O Tires.

You could try checking with Toyo (proxes), BFG makes some good performance tires. I think even good year makes some, Eagle 1's I believe. Michelin Pilots are another. Good luck deciding.

Might try looking at this Goodyear link. This is the same tire used on the SS and the VHO trucks.
