Thanks for the info Chris. I am looking at the P265/60R18 with H speed rating
Bridgestone Dueler H/P. Have Toyo Proxes T-1 Plus on now with 18x8 wheels.
Need good traction and cornering ability with a slightly low profile tire.
Looking in the 265 or 255 range with a 55 or 65 sidewall. Any suggestions.
Even was thinking of the Hoosier Tire. Need excellent performance abilities.
This is not for your average truck. THis is for the Flashfire. With the 257++
hp at the rear wheels, I need something I can really use.
