They came balanced from discount tire, but I do not know if I threw a weight on the way to work or what I'll keep you informed. Check out the pics.

Cooper Zeon LTZ's: My 5000 mile report...
Purchased these tires in May from Discount Tires. 285/50R20 on 20x10 Liquid Metals.
When I purchased these tires then, I was informed they were a brand new model of tire from Cooper. Decided to try them out after looking at the treadwear rating and look of the tire.
Within the first week from purchase, I experienced a moderately "bad" steering wobble from 40-50 mph, especially if the tires were cold. Once the tires heated up, they smoothed out a bit. I returned to Discount Tire and informed them of the problem. They re-balanced them and rotated them front/back. This made the steering wobble much better, however still had a hint there.
I figured I'd run them for at least 5K miles before I returned to see what would happen with the wobble. For the most part, the wobble returned and I just went back to Discount Tire and told them the same thing. They again re-balanced and rotated the wheels. The wheels themselves are not bent and they are hub-centric as well. The tires don't seem to be out of round either, but that was a visual check only. Well, 2 days later, the wheel wobble is back and worse than before I brought it in. Gonna have to go back to Discount Tire again.
Anyway, the performance of the tire in dry conditions are excellent for a 6000 lb truck. Phenominal difference between the stock tires and these. They are super quiet on the road even though they have the aggressive tread. Quite happy with them in spite of the steering wobble.
Wet conditions: I had my first wet/rain condition the other day here in So Cal after months of no rain. The tires performed just fine if I took it easy, but could definitely be quite fun and easy to kick out the rear if I wanted too. I think any tire in the rain that day with the oils on the road would have done the same. Satisfactory in this catagory.
Overall treadwear after 5000+ miles: Zero! Excellent treadwear.
I've also run these tires at 97 mph for a good 30 minutes straight (no steering wobble either) and they performed excellent at speed.
If I could get rid of the steering-wobble, I would recommend these tires at 100%, however I can't do that right now until further evaluation.
Hope that helps.

I contacted discount tire and asked about 305/55/20's. He asked what type of truck they were going on. I have an 07 lariet supercrew 4x4. He typed in the truck and told me that a 295 was the biggest tire I could run without rubbing, which by the way is not available. My truck is stock height with factory 20's. I would like to put the 305/55/20's on but now I am afraid they want fit based upon what the guy told me. Any input would be appreciated. These tires are $13 per tire cheaper than the Terra Grapplers, which way should I go? Thanks to all for the help.
