Default Tire Recommendations for 20 inch wheels

Sorry tried searching on my own and didn't see much. Ordered some Work VS-XX Step Lip wheels and hope to get them soon and wanted to shop around for tires.

Any recommendations of tire brands and models

Thank you !

I'm very happy with Nitto 555s and INVO. Toyo has a new sport tire out I may try next month or I'm going to go Pirelli.

I've used on other vehicles Goodyear, Bridgestone, Yokohomas and Michelin and for the most part always happy. T

I love the Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires. I have used them on multiple cars and the treadlife is amazing and the ride is also great.

I'm loving my Hancook Ventus v12's. Very comfortable riding setup.

I think it depends on your price as these tires (Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli) are great but they cost more. I have Bridgestone Potenza I don't think there are that bad but I haven't put them on yet. Pirelli I can vouch and say they are good Michelin top notch I think. Continental Extreme Contact DW would be good as well but I always here about flat-spotting with those.

IME, Continentals were the absolute worst brand/set of tires I've even owned in 35+ years of driving. We had a set of Conti Premiere Contacts on my wife's car in the mid 2000's. Never again. Absolute junk.

YMMV.

Back in my BMW days, I tried saving a little by going from Michelin Pilot Sports to Falkens on my staggered setup. The performance drop was barely noticeable but I did save a noticeable amount of money, very noticeable.
