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.

nittos
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

Nitto's 555 extream
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.
