Tires for 20x10 500+ whp

I've searched around a bit on the forums, finally settled with Nitto 555r in a 305/35 20 but I am finding out its on national back order...

I was able to find a set on eBay for $12,000 for two tires, I contacted him to see if he made a mistake but he indeed wants.... 12,000 dollars...

My issue is simple, I have 503whp and I need traction for a 20x10 wheel

What are my options? I'm willing to use any tire as long as it puts power to the ground.

For the "use the search button" folks I need up to date information about tires currently available, threads from four years ago are no help.

Thanks in advance.

If you want to stick to Nitto.

NT05.

If you want some real tires that will break your axles because of the grip

Potenza RE11s.

IMO, go to 18s or 19s. If you're really worried about getting power to traction, then 20s probably aren't the right wheel size for you.

That guy on ebay must be smoking crack, I get triple nicks for like $250 piece cost lol

That's why, 20s really aren't a performance size.

Toyo makes a handful of high grip tires in many 20" applications.

If you really want power though, I suggest running 18s with super grippy tires (like the NT05 or RE11) when you track or when you want it to go.

Then run the 20s when you want to look sick and cruise.

Look into Toyo T1R, R1R and proxy 4s

I do, but they come out of the states so I'd have to check stock.

Majority of Nitto in Canada comes from the States.

Where were you trying to order them from?
