After talking with my local tire shop here in Phuket, I mentioned to him that I was thinking about changing my wheel size to a 20 inch wheel with some 305/55/r20 rubber. He said that the cost to have 305 tires on my truck was going to be in the 3 to 5k range and said that the biggest he would recommend would be the 285/55/r20 BF Goodrich tires. When I mentioned to him about the issues that I have had in the past with the BF goodrich not stopping on wet roads he said that many of his customers use them and they all love them.
He then had a look under my truck to see what lift kit I had used and as soon as he saw the 1 inch blocks he said that the problem with me stopping with the BF Goodrich tires was not the tires but the cheap and nasty lift kit...............anyway to cut a long story short my truck is going in on tuesday to get a set of Pro Fender OEM 2.5 Shocks.............not cheap ~$2k but i've been down the cheap and nasty route before and we all know where that got me.
I will get myself a set of Fuel Blitz 20 inch rims and put the 285/55/r20 BF Goodrich or same size cooper MaXX
