420 tires wanted/bmf for trade

[Nick284]

Does anyone have a set of 305/50/20 tires there looking to sell? I think im gonna lower my truck and go this route. Not sure if il like it, so il buy used before new if possible. I also habe a set of 20x9 novakanes il trade for wider wheels. Let me know and we can talk! Thanks

man, they're so cheap brand new, I don't really see how a forum member could sell them to you and ship them to you and make it worth their while...

you can get a set on ebay for about $700 SHIPPED...

it'd probably cost the average joe a hundred or two just to ship 4 tires to you

 

[Nick284]

Yeah good point ha. I was already thinking new anyways. I had a find on craigslist local for like 400$ so it made me think. But your right def not worth it to anyone. Il probly just go for it, ive never ran that type of tire, usually leveled on a 33" or 35" but going different now. I assume its going to ride smoother and with my s400 it probly help with that tire

they should come in just shy of 33"...

I ran them on my reg cab 6.4 and liked them. They hook really good, they're light, and the shorter diameter keeps the revs up for big turbos, etc.

I took them off because my truck is stock turbos and is a 3.73 truck, so it was a little wound out vs. what I wanted...

if I had 3.55's, I'd still have them on the truck.

For a street truck, the're really tough to beat. They wear out quicker, but they wear surprisingly well. I expected them to go away like boggers or drag radials for some reason, but mine have about 10k miles on them, and they still look like new

The 420s in a 305/50/20 aren't an actual 420 tread rating like the other sizes. They're a 460 or 480 i don't really remember. So yes they have a good tread life but they're really not as sticky as most people think.

I think the harder rubber was a good call by nitto since so many of us retards are running them on heavy trucks. I won't be running 420s again, mine wore great but they're hard as a rock now and my 60ft Times are getting worse.

If you want a better track tire with less life go with a Toyo.

 

[Nick284]

So the 305's are actually a harder tire is what your saying right? Toyo makes a softer tire... I dont see the track too much so a harder compound might be better for me. Up in the air if im gonna switch to that type of tire. I usually run all terains but now getting into a different "scene". Power and speed ha

So I'm confused, did Nitto change the tire compound on the 420s?

On the 305/50-20s yes. It's harder.

 

[JrStroker]

On the 305/50-20s yes. It's harder.

When did they do that? And I wonder if it's on all the 305 sizes. Like for 22's and 24s
