Default i need some 18" tires

I just got some 18X8.5 Weld Evo Renegades for my truck and now I need some tires. I want something that will perform well in the summer and hook at the track. I'll use my stock wheels/tires in the winter. I don't think anyone makes drag radials that would work.

I'd like them to be abour 11X30 so 285/60/18 would be a good size.

Open to suggestions.

I like my Mastercraft Avenger ST's which are made by Cooper. Here's a pic of them and the Cooper Zeon XST; both have great traction.

ooh, i like those. i just need to make sure they have a high enough speed rating. I was looking at Nitto NT-404 Extreme Force SUV Truck/SUV Tires too. the price is right on those.

They're rated at 130 mph. Haven't seen too many truck tires that're Z-speed rated and still have a decent sidewall. Hope this helps. My Mastercrafts balanced very well too and I've gotten pretty good wear out of them as well.

Good choice. I would've gotten the Coopers as well but they were on backorder when I went to get them. Should be a good tire. I've always gotten good service out of Cooper/Mastercraft tires.
