Discount Tire is out of 20" tires.

At least in my size.

I need a set of tires for my 20" Boss 338s. I ordered a set of Yokohama Parada Spec X tires on Friday from Discount Tire Direct. To get the stance I want I opted for a 255/40/20 (28.1" dia) for the front and a 275/45/20 (29.9" dia) for the rear. They called me today and said that the sizes I want are not in stock and they could not tell me when they would be available. I asked if they had any other brands in my sizes and he said the Nitto 420s had the same sizes, but they were special order only and he couldn't guarantee when those would be available either. I really want these tires, (I've had the wheels for over 6 months!) but I don't like the idea of not knowing if/when they will ship.

Are there any other manufacturers with these sizes? If not, what sizes would be optimal for a staggered stance? The truck has a static 5.5/6 drop.

Thanks in advance.

These are the ones I'm running on my 20" Coys.
There is a really good deal on these BFG's on EBay.
I asked the guy if he would take $670 shipped for all four and he said he would.
Hope this helps.

These are awesome tires, I'm running them in a 22" and am very impressed with the tires wet weather capabilities and road manors/noise.

I couldn't agree more... I'm running them on my '69 w/ 20's and they ride and drive great. Wouldn't choose another tire.

Do you have any pics of these on your truck? I would like to run something like this when I get new tires this spring.

Re: Discount Tire is out of 20" tires.

truckdude239 - thank you. I ordered them from Tire Rack today. They had to ship from two different warehouses, but I should have them next week.

Sorry, I know this is an old thread, but I'm wondering if your Boss 338s are 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear.
I'm doing the same setup and you saved me a lot of searching for tires.
Thx.
