I'm buying new tires for my 20"s.. Need opinions on my options
Hey guys..

My wheels came with some vredertine tires that need replacement.. My size are 245/30R20 & 285/25R20.

This is what I'm looking for on my tires.

Decent wear
Low noise
Not too expensive

These were the ones I had in mind, please let me know what you think.

* Michilin pilot super sport
* Nitto Invo
* Goodyear F1

I don't take my car to the track just an everyday driver.

Please let me know your opinions or any other suggestions...

Thanks..

Continental Conti Extremes are an AMAZING tire. They last forever, tons of grip and they're often stuck on E classes.

I highly recommend this tire.

I don't think those 2 tires are offered in the sizes that I need. Because they didnt come up on any of my searches.

Had Invos in those sizes and liked them a lot. Even more than the Invos on my 18's Lol.

I'm in the same situation now. I actually ordered some Hankooks through tire rack then they canceled the order on me because of their BS "load weight" policy. I'll have to reorder without the car specified.

Anyhow, my main concern is rubbing. I've had some rubbing up front and my rears are currently very close to rubbing. I'm running Nito N555 245/35-20 and 275/35-20. I think the Hankooks run a bit narrower than the Nittos, so I was thinking of going 245/30-20 and 275/35-20. However, most people on the forums seem to think that the correct sizing is 245/30-20 and 285/25-20.

I'm somewhat worried about bending my rims up, and am not sure about the 25 sidewall...
