Question New rims, now I need new tires!

So I just picked up a new set of rims, ( 20x9/20x10.5 +32/45 offsets )
And they're sitting in my living room beckoning me, but I can't put them on until I get some tires for them! I'm looking for sizes 245/35/20 & 285/30/20, and really want something quiet and grippy... I know with 20's it won't be the most comfortable ride but the more comfortable the better... I live in Texas close to Houston, so winter isn't a problem here... I really want Michelin Super Sports (what I have on the car now) but they're out of my price range... I'm comfortable around the $8-900 range... Top pick right now is Hankook Ventus v12 evo2's...

Any suggestions/opinions?
I've searched but haven't found too much to help with my decision...
Thanks in advance!!

Here you go, ask for Andrew and mention myg37, the T1Sports are excellent summer tires w/ great wet & dry grip, and should be about $750 for the set of those sizes you listed (plus tax but free shipping) Andrew might get even better price, never hurts to ask
Be sure to read the reviews

"....sticks like untoasted white bread to the roof of your mouth... What more do you need to know?" .... Lol!!!

These were one of the sets I was looking at actually, but tire rack and the other site I used didn't have any reviews, these sound like a great option! Will definitely consider, thanks!!

Toyo T1 sports are really good. They offer excellent dry grip and equally impressive wet grip.

Call Andrew at Tread Depot to get a good price. Plus if they have them in stock they arrive the next day (For me they did atleast)

^^^ NVM, I assumed they made this tire in these sizes since they do for the DWS, but this is not the case. The DWS is a great tire.

Hey blnewt, where do you see free shipping at? I'm in the market to pick up a set of tires as well but after finding a set, it asks for my zip code for a shipping quote.

There was a banner on their site "Free Shipping on sets of Toyos", if you don't see it I'd just call to verify, they run that one quite a bit. Like I mentioned, if you ask for Andrew and mention the site he'll get you a nice deal.

Agree Potenza and Hankook are really good tires. If you want tires that will stretch nice try Falken

No problem
Look forward to hearing your impressions when you get some time on them.
Andrew is a great guy to deal with for sure.
