Which tires to go with?

http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/bfgap...forcetakdw.jsp, Toyos, or Falkens? The BFGoodriches are a brand new tire and besides being expensive nd sick looking its really good, but give me your opinion for 20" rims. Or would you gius think I should stick with nitto 555 275/30, where the others would be 285/30 in the back??

I would go with Falkens, good tread rating, and not noisy. I heard that Nittos are loud. Plus Falkens are more rounded so you wont get rubbing with 20s, not that you will with other tires, but it is less likely with Falkens. Some people complained about rubbing with 20s when they hit bumps.

I'd go with 275/30s for sure in the rear to save weight and you'll have more brand options, unless you plan on going FI in the near future. Then you'll need to go as wide as possilble.

Falken's imo. but, the Toyo's and BF's are a tad bit better performance wise. if you're gonna run Nitto, you might as well make your own tire. the pilot's are good, but treadwear is scarce, and it's a fortune.
