Eagle_Adam Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Long story short, a favor is owed to me by a tire store owner. He has offered tires and installation in return for his debt. So now i have choices that are not limited by my bank account. Soooooooooooooooooooooooo............... If you had the choice what brand of tires would you run on an 18 in titan rim that's ending up on a 620 with a dual cam KA N/A? EDIT - please post a link so i can research further :) Quote Link to comment

darc510 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Goodyear Eagle GT (W-Speed Rated) I run these on my Colorado Xtreme, awesome all around tire and the grip/traction is excellent, especially in wet weather... I'm about to install my second set in the next week or so. I guess it depends on what you are going to be doing in you truck... 2 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 this truck will be my DD and i live in Oregon so water control is important but i also wanna be able to have fun with the truck after the KA swap so performance is still a factor Quote Link to comment
DeviousPsycho620 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I run Nitto Neo-gens. 201-40-16s. They have awesome traction rain or shine. (Mostly rain) Quote Link to comment

DeviousPsycho620 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 They are performance tires thank you. And if you notice... im looking at 235 - 40 -r18 They are great tires for his application. That's all. Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 i dont have to keep it at a grand but if i go too much north of that ill probably have to add funds Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Generals or Continentals. Done. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Yep, they have Direzzas in that size. I had them on my car, super sticky. I could never get the tires to spin, and cornering was amazing. Even in the wet, despite being a summer tire. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 My only input would be to stay away from uni-directional type tires cuz they have a tendency to howl almost like a wheel bearing going out...That doesn`t sound like a big deal but it will drive you fucking nuts overthinking whether or not your bearings are going out or not..

Eagle_Adam Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I have 16x8 wheels, and I'm running 225 50R/16 Goodyear GT's B) Is your speedo correct? Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 i was told 235/40/18 would get me withing 2 mph of stock Quote Link to comment
JoeCool Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Perhaps, it all depends on what is considered stock I guess?Here Bleach said a taller tire is stock: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/5051-stock-tire-sizes-for-620s/ optional/newer stock tires: 195 80R/14 = 26.2834" diameter the tires you're looking at: 235 40R/18 = 25.4016" diameter BTW: I'm going by this thing (it seems to be pretty close) -> http://robrobinette.com/tire_dia meter.htm 195/75/14 is stock. And THIS site has a real good tire size calculator... http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html 195/75/14 is 25.5" diameter, 235/40/18 is 25.4". Speedo would be off 0.4%. Reading of 60mph would actually be 59.7... big WHOOP! Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Stock size 195/75/14 is 25.5 diameter, 235/40/18 is 25.4. thats what i was told ;) Quote Link to comment
