Four jelly donuts are better than the Pirelli's.

Did you notice the speed rating is "V".
I know none of us go real fast very often, but I just wanted you all to be aware of that.

Tire rack would not list them because they carry a few select Toyo tires that are mostly O.E. tires on a few Toyota and Nissan vehicles like the Tranpath and A18 (maxima tire).
Keep in mind when looking at the speed rating of a tire - it is more of an overall performance rating than just a top speed in a straight line kind of understanding. A Z rated tire is typically going to have less side to side yaw than a V or H rated tire, and can effect the handling characteristics of the vehicle as well. The reason Z rated tires are recommended is - they are able to correctly carry the weight of the vehicle in street situations and handle to manufacturer specifications which includes but is not limited to up to the top speed of the truck.

Brite- I hear ya.
I just put the Hankook Ventus' (V-rated) on my daily-driver truck. We haven't had any rain since they went on, but on dry roads I'm very happy with them. They handle as well, if not better, than the stock Pirelli's. Cornering is improved, road noise is down a little, and I've lost about 1/2 of the 'chirp' when nailing 3rd. 'Chirp' from 3-4 is gone; in it's place is TRACTION!
I just hauled almost 1000 lbs. of lumber in the truck with no problems at all. Given- I didn't break 65mph, but I also didn't notice any "funny business"- front or rear- while driving with the wood.
If I was spending tons of time at the track, BFG's would be on all 4 corners. Those things are awesome on a nicely prepared track.
I think the biggest problem with tires for us is the limited selection. There are only 4 makers out there (BFG, Pirelli, Yokohama & Continental) that do tires for us that are W-rated or higher, and only 1 model from each of them.
Also, the higher the speed rating, the lower the treadwear rating. For racers, that's not an issue because they only do limited miles each time the truck comes out, and need the performance.
For those of us that are using it as a daily driver, a 320 AA treadwear rating...well, it sucks. LOL We'll be going through tires like Brad and Angelina go through 3rd world countries.
Uber-performance tires on tracks= good.
Uber-performance tires on city streets= bad.
