Was wondering what brand and size tires would be the best replacement for the goodyears ? Traction driveability wear wise any info would be appriciated 99-04 lightning

 

I put Nitto's on my 04 Lightning. They cost about the same, but are a smoother and quieter ride and longer life.

 

thanks appriciate the info . still have some tread on the goodyears but getting closer to biting the bullet.

 

I put the hankooks on mine, but im not very impressed with them. Next time, i'll probably go with the toyo's.

 

I got my Nitto's last night from discount tires. I drive 120 to and from work so i will have a better feel for them this Sat. However so they are great.

 

I had Toyo's on my truck when I bought it. they are VERY bad in wet weather. It also gets worst if the temp outside fall below 60 degrees. I think Nitto is the way to go if you want a tire that has a good tread life . But if you are looking for good traction for racing the Goodyears are stickyer but dont last long.

 

I agree... i love my goodyears, but they just arent practical. the hankook's are a good cheap tire, but thats what you get. a cheap tire. im just holding out for about 47 other companies to make them, so i dont have to give up my first born child to buy tires.

 

I had Goodyears and switched to Nittos.The problem I am having with
them is dry rot.I only drive the truck on weekends to keep the milage down.
After 2 years I still have tread, yet they are getting dry rot cracks.I am not
sure which tire to go with next. Just FYI

 

have 500 miles on my new nitto's and I think they are great. I have GoodYear eagles on my mustang gt and these are a better tire. the Nitto's are stickey in turns quite at speed and were priced better than the GoodYears. Purchessed at Discount Tires.

 

Correction-on the previous thread,I mentioned I had the Nitto tires for 2 years.
After calling Discount Tires,I found out it had been 3 years and 25,500 miles ago.
I believe I will stick with the Nittos.Thats longer than my Goodyears lasted.
