Looking to purchase tires for 2000 Lightning. If you had to choose between Hankook Ventus Strh06, Toyo Proxies s/t or Nitto
which would it be? (295-45-18)
Live in SC so wet and dry conditions only apply.
Thanx for the advice.

 

best tires for perfomance and traction would be the Nitto 555 or Goodyear Eagle F1-GS. Though i still have traction issue with my Nitto's, i would not want to even imagine what it would be like driving on a tire that is less performance oriented.

 

nitto 555, or if you are broke hankook ventus. i know L owners who had both and liked both. the 555 are a softer tire, which will be better suited for "spirited" driving in mind, and thus will wear out quicker. if you are looking for more of a compromise, the hankooks are a lil harder compound so they will last through more burnouts, etc. svtpete has some hankooks and he seems to like them.

 

live in ohio..lots of some rain and cold temps. the only tire i like and have is toyo proxi s/t. they are great as far as the ride even when cold. they hook up great for me and have lasted 3 times longer than my goodyears ever did
they have them here for 170.00 if you can find that price there pm me i get they up here and ship them

 

toyo proxies, 34,000 and still going strong. Great in wet weather; snow? CA boy, cannot relate.
