In Canada a set of Blizzak tires for a 275/55/20 rim is 278.00 each. Others are higher.

I was on the fence between the Nitto TG and the Cooper Zeons too. The major deciding factors were I liked the style of the Zeon a little better, not everybody has them, PRICE, and I couldn't find one negative review on the Zeon.....NOT the case with the TG.

BOY am I glad I went with the Zeon! So far (only 500 miles on them) I have no complaints. They ride well, they look GREAT, they have very minor road noise, and they look GREAT! Did I mention that already?

I've seen my tires side-by-side with the TG, and the Zeons are a more aggressive looking tire too. Also, the Zeons have done all I've asked of them off road since I've had them. They dig in to mud, sand, soft dirt, and hard clay very well, and they grip nicely on rocks too.

All in all, I give them an A+ in all aspects of what I look for in a tire, and they come with my highest recommendation. Time will tell how they wear, but having had several sets of Cooper tires before, I expect no issues there either.

Regards, and good luck! Let us know what you decide.
