Default Tires for 20" rims

Have 20" shelby razors on my 2006 and in need of new tires. What brand and sizes are you guys running?

I'm currently running Hankook Ventus V12's, I like this tire a lot, they're very quiet and grip well dry or wet. Not too bad on the pocket either. Check out the reviews here...

I'm running the same size tire as you but the brand is Toyo. They are Proxes4 and they grip pretty well even in the rain. I haven't had any issues with spinning in the rain like a did with my stock Pirellies. The tread wear seems to be very good also, appears to be almost non-existent after about 8,000 miles. They are also fairly cheap compared to Nittos, $144 a piece at an actual tire shop compared to $225 for Nitto 555's.

Ok well I think I'm going to go with 255's all the way around again but am completely torn between falken 452's, nitto nt555's, or Hankook Ventus V12's.

I have nitto 555's right now - great in warm/dry, terrible in wet conditions. I am hoping they wear out prematurely so I have an excuse to replace them with either falken fk452s (ran these on my Z before, great tire for the $$), vredestein ssenatas, or hankook v12s

I recently switched from Nitto NT555's to Hankook V12's. I remember when I first put the Nitto's on my car, the road noise was very evident, the Hankooks whisper in comparison and I actually like the ride better.

I really like the falken fk452's.

Im now on Toyo T1 sports, and while these are great tires, I still like the Falkens a smidge better.
