Next time look at the Pirelli Scorpion Zero Assimetrico. I always run that tire but the 305/35/22's I had on my Procharged Ram R/T were flawless. They hooked as well as can be expected in a 650 hp blown 2wd on a road race suspension and handled flawlessly. I don't think there's a better tire on the market.

Yes, the Yokohamas are quieter than the Nittos.... I'd do the Vogue Signatures before the Nittos....just a preference. Nittos are good, its just when your 22" or larger, most dont factor in the materials in a particular tire build and thus forget about possible noise. Again,just a preference
Just checked out the vogues, 460aa wear rating indicates a fairly hard compound, the nitto are a 420aa. I liked the grabber 320aa but alas they're discountinued so it's only old stock left in my size

They're not here yet, what's the stickiest 305/35/24 in your opinion? I thought the grabber but don't like buying tires that are 1.5-2 years old already.

Nittos are also 460aa.... Sounds like your looking for more of a performance tire than I am. I am looking for a balanced mix. 460aa wont bother me as I prefer a slightly harder compound to wear longer. Used softer compounds on my Altima SER in a 19" tire and bought tires more frequently.... Link me to where you researched the Grabber tires..... i wouldnt worry too much about 1.5-2 yr time span. Im sure they are fine...lol but I understand. The Pirelli will be slightly more stickier out of the tires that I have researched. My wife has them on her Audi Q7 and I think they wear a lil faster, but thats the trade off. Tires that are ultra high performance are going to wear faster by nature due to the softer compound.
I really wish they still made the BFG TA's I used to run on my srt10, tread life sucked but they stuck like glue. It was that truck which turned me against Pirelli, the tread wear was good but I lit them up everywhere
I guess I could just lay off the go peddle but what fun is that

I found the grabbers as available in 305/35/24 so I started googling....lots of info on the trailblazer ss forums and some lightning forums too. They're priced decent but soft. Ya I want performance first, going to need to plant 650rwhp as that's the goal. Already have the Roush SC, just upgrading pulley, injectors, boost-a-pump, TB, iat sensor, tune and a few other odds and ends.
