best traction street tire

[stealthperf]

Okay guys, looking for a little help. I'm running 285/60/18 cooper discoverer h/t on my truck now.... I need something in that size (31.5 to 32.5 inches tall). I need to try letting a little air out yet to see what that does. I'm going to need new tires in awhile and I would like to get something that hooks up better... Looking for a street/summer tread. I need to pull my bass boat and drive in the rain so no slicks. I don't put on a lot of miles so I don't need an 80000 mile tire.. Any help would be great. Thanks, Dave.

I looked at those too, but they don't have them in 18s... I don't want to go any shorter because I'm running 4.56s and it would really be running high rpm if I went to a lot shorter tire.. I might just have to learn how to modulate my right foot better..

Those Kumhos suck. I had them on my truck for a while and moved to the Hankook Ventus RH07 and am on my 2nd set. Better than the Yokahamas (too hard) and last longer than the Kumhos with better traction.

Heard good things about the Michelin LTX M/S2.

i was in this same boat. i did a lot of research and it really depends on what your going to use the truck for. The two that i ended up debating over were the Michelin Pilot Super Sports or the Nitto nt555's. Ended up going with the SS's as they do better in the rain as i drive in the rain in winter. The nitos i believe have less tread, more of a track tire, which is not fun in water. but i believe they hook a bit better. BUT the SS's stick very well and they are harder = last longer. They made a huge difference from the crappy tires i was running before. ill still light up the tire from a launch but it hooks up in half the time it used to. once i get the tru trac in, it should eliminate most of that. im super happy with them. just my .02
