Default Tire Recommendations

I've got my eye of some 20's and I wondering what timers to buy? The Rims are 20 x 8.5.
I will also be lowering the car with the L-Tuned setup!

I have the TOyos and love them. Great tire and a great price. I havent had anything else on my GS so I cant comment on the others. I would go with a 245-35-20 tires. That is pretty close to factory spec as I recall.

Toyo's hands down! Unfortunately, Tire rack does not carry Toyo's so you won't be able to get reviews on the tire.......do a google search & perhaps other sites have opinions.

Pirelli P zero Nero M&S and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, hands down the best all season performance tires.

Toyo TS-1's are a summer only tire.

Maaloxx, are you rlooking for all seasons or summer? If all seasons, I agree with Brandon.

I'm not rollin on 20's, but, on my stocker 17 chromies I do have the PZero Nero M&S tires.

I put the 235's on front and the 245's on back. I'm very picky about how the tire "looks" on the car as far as tread design and sidewall looks. I know, it's a curse and I can't help it.

Some tires I saw would have a great tread pattern, but, a not-so-great sidewall look, or a blocky sidewall.

Well, to make this short,....I **LOVE** the PZero Nero M&S tire. I paid $139 each I think, locally.
They're not loud, great traction on dry roads, and I've experienced no lack of traction on wet roads/rain either. Couldn't be happier!

I run mich pilot sport a/s on my gs430 in winter. Great handling tire but expensive. Just put Toyo proxes 4 on my es300 and so far I think their great. Very quiet and not expensive.

Agreed rh, The Michelins were excellent.......but WOW on the price! I've heard VERY good things about the Toyo Proxes 4's.
