I'm looking to get some tires for 20" rims and there doesn't seem to be a lot in the size I want. I want wider tires so was going to go with a 295/45 but the selection is really limited. I know to stay away from the Toyo Proxy's and Continental ExtremeContacts so that brings it down to:

Goodyear Eagles (Haven't heard a lot of good stuff about these)
Atturo AZ50
Arroyo Grand Sport AS (Never heard of)
Nitto 420V (Decent from what I've heard)
General G-Max (Used General Grabber AT/X tires on my truck, pretty good)
Pirelli Scorpion Verde or Zero, P-Zero (All run-flat and expensive)

There is more of a selection going to a 285/50 but they are not as wide. Anyone running a 295/45 and if so, what do you have?

I'm going to go with 295/40/20 when I get my summer wheels and tires going, Also I have had a great experience with Continentals in the past I'm probably going to get them for the ST when I get my wheels. I've heard the Proxys were decent too.

295/40/20 is a very short tire. The 295/45 is a much better choice.

Ill look into the 45s too, thanks for the info!

After looking in my cart I actually have 45s I just mis-typed.

The 245/40 is almost 2" shorter than OEM. I did find that the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 comes in a 295/45 so that's what I'm probably going to go with.

I know a lot of people are looking at the Atturo's, seem like a pretty decent tire for the price.
