Tire brand
 
I'm having a hard time finding the same brand and model tires for 245/40r20 and 295/40r20. Can anyone suggest anything???
Thanks

Toyota proxies st2 . Made for trucks and they ride great. I know they have a 255/40 but I do not know about the 245. I bought mine online real reasonable. About $800 if I remember right.

Thanks a lot! I looked at the ST's but not the ST2's. I'll use a 255 that shouldn't be a problem and I like that they make a 295/45 for the rear

I think The st stands for sport truck. I had that setup on my truck and it rode great. The 255/40's are 179.99 each and the 295/40's are 162.64 each. Shipping wasn't bad at all.

Where did you order them?

I called them to make sure they were in stock and to confirm the shipping total. I think it was around $77 shipping to tx . That added to the cost of the tires was still the cheapest price I found. None of the local tire shops were even close.

Thanks for your help! I have a buddy who is an independent Toyo dealer. I'm going to give him first chance to come close to that price and if not I'll be giving them a call!

Do you have any pics with these on your truck? What wheels are you running?

Wow, those are 2 clean rides! Both yours? Do you know the back spacing on the fronts? I ordered mine 20x8.5 with a 4.5 backspace and someone said I needed more like a 5.5? What's your opinion?

They were both mine but I sold them. Black on red '78 and red on black '87. Both original paint and interior trucks. Black one was a 35,xxx original mile truck I bought ,sold, bought back, added the drop and 20's , then put rally's back on and sold with 42,xxx miles. Nice truck. It had 20x8.5 fronts with 5.75 bs and 20x10 rears with 5.25 bs. The red one has very similar offsets.
