Looking for a good set of tires to put on my truck when they need replaced[which is soon]. Truck's gonna be at stock height, but since I can't find any of the typical sport tires in the stock 275/60r20 size, and since it'll be shackled with the O/L out, and since I've seen a 265/50r20 look GOOD on a stock truck, I wann go smaller in diameter to get the truck a little physically lower to the ground for various reasons.
So I've decided on a 31"-32" height tire between 265mm and 305mm wide, and I'm not spending a $ht load of money on any kind of wheels, so it'll have to be on a 20x9[or so] wheel.
I'd prefer them to be on the wider side of this spectrum, as well as STRICTLY not being shorter than 31"
285/50, 275/55, and 305/50 come to mind easily, and I've even found tires of those sizes, but IDK which ones are the best. I want good wet grip, especially, due to Florida raining like hell in the summer, but I don't want a typical 'all season' or 'winter' tire that won't have amazing dry grip just to get a tad more wet grip.
Anyway, the top conteders I've found are the General Grabber UHP, Nitto NT-420s, Cooper Zeon XST-A, Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asymetrico, Yokohama Parada Spec-X, Falken Ziex S/TZ04, Toyo Proxes S/T 1 and 3, and several others found here. https://www.carid.com/tires/285-50-r20/?filter=1&field[334082][]=200941088&field[334083][]=200941091
Dunno if that's every option available in the size range I want [as you can see, it's along search and I'm a lazy dog :/ ] but, in any case, I'd love anyone's input who has experience with MULTIPLE tires of the same performance category, and preferably the same or similar sizes, too.
So yeah, I'd really like to know the best brands, or at least the stuff to stay away from. {{Like, guys, there are LEXANNI tires here. IDEFK Lexanni MADE tires! And what are these Lionheart, Accelera, Achilles, Nexan, Sumitomo, Kumho, and Mastercraft brands????? I thought Kumho made bicycle tires??????}}
