Title: Best Street Tires for Traction 79 Turbo LS C10
Post by: Hubcap706 on June 16, 2023, 06:19:20 AM

Hey guys,

I am at the point of trying to select some tires for my build and I am looking for a good street tire that offers traction. I am planning to run 275/40/40 and 315/35/20 on a 4/6 drop and have a few tires selected but I cannot find alot on the truck forums to influence my decision. Any advice or has anyone ran any of these tires?

Nitto NT555 G2

Toyo Proxes STIII

Atturo AZ850

Continental DWS06+

Thanks!

Nitto NT555 G2 seems to be a fine tire with good handling and performance in all weather. I myself normally get Michelin and I like the Defender LTX M/S. Have some Firestones on it right now, not what I normally use. I like the smaller wheel and more rubber. Of course my truck is a 4x4.

Thanks for the reply Mike! Nitto does seem to be the popular choice for street performance tires on the C10s, however I have read that the G2's dont have the best traction in the rain. Price wise, they are actually not the most expensive.
