What tires to run on 20's
I got a really killer deal on some roderick rw1's yesterday but two of the tires do not match the other 2. The 2 that are matching are dunlop sp signature with about 85 percent tread. But the reviews I read on that tire say they are noisy and not a comfortable ride at all. So I was originally gonna just get 2 new tires to have a matching set but now I am thinking about getting new tires all together. Are there any good options out there for 600 dollars a set or less ? I do not wanna spend a lot since these are just gonna be beater wheels for now. What is everyone else on 20's running ?

I am running Continentals DWS on my 20"
245 front and 275 rear I think, for the size and price you are looking I will look into
Hankook, they are cheaper and will do you good for DD

Depends on your goals, ride height, rim width and offset, fender mods, spring rates if not stock, need to stretch tires(?) etc...
Because of my setup, I burn through front tires twice as fast as the rears and don't match brands front to rear. The best I've had so far are nitto motivo's, and I get them for a real nice price through my tire guy.
If you're not lowered, not stretching etc, just get the highest tread wear rating you can in your budget. The motivo's are 560's. I'd personally not worry about replacing the tires you have unless there's an issue.
I've had a set of continental's with 540ish tread wear that I liked but they were on the front so I killed them quick.

the wheels are all 8.5 width and my car already sits pretty low in the back and i have an SS kit on the way as we speak to lower the front so it's even with the rear. When I measure the front and rear , the rear was sitting almost an inch and a quarter lower then the front so the SS kit should make things right. I am not gonna go any lower for right now. I'm just looking for comfort, minimal road noise and some respectable handling . 245/35/20 is what is on the wheels now and I will probably stick with that size
