Question Question for the guys running the 20's.

I might be coming across some 20" wheels and I was wondering what size and brand tire you all run>??? I want some nice wide meats and decent traction. Thanks, -Mat-

I am getting some Smoothy IIs next week and I'll be running Kumho Ecsta 712 in 295/40/WR20. Several people have these tires and say they are great.

I'm running Antera type 325's on Kumho Ecsta's same as Kingpin. They are a great tire...and at the track I cut a 1.9 60 ft time (Better than the 2.05 I could only muster on the F1's) Great tire, you won't be dissapointed!

Im running Goodyear Eagle HP 295/40/20's and they aren't the greatest. Dry traction, Wet traction... both horrible. Tire wear isn't too bad, but for 140$ you can't beat it.

I've seen the Kumhos for pretty cheap too. If I ever get 20s, I will go with those tires.

BFG G- Force 295/40/20. When my truck was stock I pulled a 1.8 60, but last time at the track I could only get a 2.2 It's hard to get out of the hole on street tires with a higher converter.

I can get the Kumho for uner $200 a tire, so those will be what I go with most likely. Thanks for the input fellas. -Mat-

There is a guy that sells the Kumhos on Ebay periodically for $668 for a set. I plan on looking to him for my next set. I cant seem to remember the name though, I'll have to check my e-mail records.
