On a related subject, what tires are 20" rim owners using. I was looking at the SMoothie's the other day, and noticed that neither the F1's or Nitto 555 or 555R's come in the 20" size for our truck.

What are good 20" tires with comparable or better performance than the F1's?

How much are you lookin to spend on tires? I have been running Dunlop Sport 9000s since last summer. There are a good amount of options, but the prices can get up to $300 a tire.

That sounds cheap as hell for a new setup. Not too sure on the Toyos, but I know they have a stock sized tire that is, I would guess, a little below the F1s.

I plan on trying some Kumho Ecsta tires next as they seem to be a good deal for the money.
