I went and picked up my truck yesterday to find that it has 285/50R20 good years which are about brand new and they are just too damn big, especially for the 3.42 gears. im planning a 2/4 in the future and was thinkin becuase of the gearing i want to even go a little smaller than a 275/45. do they make a 275/40? also, what is the smallest tire diameter you would run on a 20"?

Toyo makes a 255/45/20.

Michelin makes a 275/40/20 but i've only seen that tire once and I believe it was costly (seems like it was for one of the overseas luxury SUV's, maybe an X5?)

I agree that 285/50/20 is way too big for a street truck. I am running 245/40/20 and it really made a difference in my trucks acceleration and what not since it is such a shorter tire on a lighter wheel :head:

yah definatly, thats the main reason im going smaller, my tires are just HUGE...does a 255 still look wide enough?

 

[Slvrpismochevy96]

damn all the tires of the size id like are inbetween $250-350 a piece, i think i might re-gear my truck and keep the 285/50's becuase my only other option is some 275/45's and that isnt small enough. If you had 3.42's with the 285/50's would you get 3.73 or 4.10?

I'd say 4.10 because that will put you above most stock trucks

4.10s for sure...no need to pay all that cash to regear and have it only be a lil lower..might as well make it worth your money...

:high5: Good way to put it redneck, thats probably the most convincing thing ive heard all day, good job and 4.10 it is
