If you're strictly a street trucker then you can't beat the Goodyear Fortera.

I have the BFG KDW 305 50 20's .... I also feel they have the best looking tread pattern also.... They make the truck look like its moving when its parked!



Here is a quote from the discription...
incredible dry traction with unflappable wet weather control. Long treadlife. Smooth, quiet ride. In sizes that make it the perfect choice for most of today's hottest sports coupes, sedans, and sport trucks. Y-speed rated (up to 186 mph).
I think they hold my truck to the road better than ANY tire I have had so far...

SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM

If you want the best, Michelin hands down. Of course you better have some major cash in your wallet but if it's the best you want you can't beat them.

The will out handle and out last any tire on the market.

Where can I order those tires from Air Ram? Wet traction is something important to me being that truck is 2WD.

Just do a search for them on the internet for them..... I purchased mine NEW from a board member in the classified section for 650.00 but I know they are one of if not the most expensive tire you can get. .

Here is a link to some of the specs... Its rated as one of the BEST ... and honestly the way I take corners, they hold my truck GLUED to the road like its on rails... I love these tires... Prior to these I had the NITTO 404's and honestly those where a GREAT tire... but they where NOTHING compaired to these BFG's

I have a set of General Grabbers UHP's. I love the look and the traction (dry and wet). Another great tire is Kuhmo (Ecsta stx) The look sweet and handle just as well.
