JF-03-SS Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 How are the Nittos in the snow? Never ran mine in snow but don't image they would be that great. What would be the positives and negatives of going up to the 305/50/20? Positive is they at 1 1/2" wider than the 275/55's but the same overall height (diameter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evandostert Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) I had parada's they were ok. The 420 ride smoother and look like they have a little more tread. I am going 420 if I need another set. Both are ok in rain light snow just about anything.

KrausMotorSports Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Check out the hancooks. Ran them on my TBSS and had good luck with them. Rain & snow they did well. Plus price couldn't be beat. Anybody else running these?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nort316 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 It looks so funny jacked up in the air like that. I found some tires called Cooper Discoverer Hts i can get for a cheap price. Has anyone ever heard of them and know if they're good or not?

ssfast Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Michelin m/s 2 they are the shit and last a long long long time well worth the money and great in the snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nort316 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 yeah, i think ill hold off on the ten inch lifet for now. lol. But do yall have any more suggestions on tires that run well in the rain and last a while. IM not concerned with winter at all. All i want is something that is going to last a long time and not blow up on me. And what positives and negatives accompany going to bigger 305/50/20s? sorry, didnt see response to positives and negatives. disregard that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSBlue24 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I love the Good Year LS-2 tires IMO....and first set that came with the truck lasted me 62,xxx miles with always rotating every 10,xxx miles and stayed with LS-2 but I would've loved to buy some Bridgestones but a lil pricey on them.
