Cooper Zeon LTZ....WOW

Well I had my heart set on getting some BFG All Terrain KOs but the prices are substantially higher than the competition. I can get rims and tires for the price of just BFG tires. Then I saw these I'm absolutely getting these in 305 50 20 on some new rims. treadepot has them for like $685 shipped, that is amazing

I purchased them from tread depot about a year ago and I have them in that size. I can highly reccomend them. They ride and handle great. I noticed you are in Memphis. You may want to drive a little south and get them mounted at Byhalia Tire and Battery. They are a Cooper dealer and they have the road force balance machine and know how to use it. I went to two other shops before them trying to get the tires balanced right. I was really thinking I had made a mistake but Byhalia Tire and Battery got everything perfect and now I love the tires!

What's up the dodge picture? lol

You guys will love them! I'm glad I went with these over the BFGs not only because of the price. My only regret with these is that I couldn't get them bigger than the stock size, I had to have tires that day thanks to some freakin barbed wire. Oh well, enjoy 'em!

Well I just ordered that exact wheel and tire combo from Discounttiredirect.com, they even BEAT treadepot's price on the Coopers! And the best thing is he said I should have the wheels and tires at my door on Friday!!! Now I just need to get the autosping 2" kit.

hey guys i just went to discounttiredirect.com and searched for the cooper's in the 285/55/r20 and they don't have any....however, they do have 275/60/r20's. is there a difference? i know the 285/55/r20's will fit on my stock rims without leveling but will the 275/60/r20's? my boss has the 275/60/r20's on his 2005 dodge ram sport and from what i can measure they are only about an inch taller than my stock 275/55/r20 pirelli's....thanks for any help!

really?? from my calculations the 285/55/r20's are 32.3", the 275/60/r20's are 33", and the 305/55/r20's are 33.2"...but if you say so...i had 305/55/r20's on my '07 with moto metal 951 20x9's with 6.18/30 offset backspace and i had to trim the inner fender flare becuase they would rub at full lock....not sure what the stock offset/backspace are for my rims?!? what about the bilstiens you have posted on your signature???

Your calculations are correct. I use THIS.

I put these tires on after the bilsteins but the height is the same since they were set at the stock height. When I bought my wheels I told the sales associate what type and year truck. I have no knowledge of backspacing.

All I can tell you is that they have not and do not rub, lock to lock or over any bumps and I have not cut or trimmed anything....

Not sure about stock 20's being wide enough for 305 width tires. Was your 07 truck 4X4? They do sit higher stock.

yeah its a 4x4...on discounttiredirect.com the 305/55/R20's are $279.00 and the 275/60/R20's are $186.00...both coopers....i'd rather go with the 275/60/R20's for $90.00 less and lose that .2"...question is: will the 275/60/R20's fit on my stock rims with no rubbing???

$90 X 4 is quite a bit of coin to save. I think the larger Cooper is a more popular seller so they charge more. As many have already said...my wheels were cheaper $180 than my tires.

I would measure the wheel wells and probably go for it. 33" aint that tall in a truck wheel well IMHO. Probably not but my wheel wells look like I could fit a 34.4" (305-60-20) which will probably be my next attempted tire size at stock height.

Here's the best tool - IMHO - for figuring out what will fit. Just plug your current wheel and tire size into the left box and the size you are considering in to the right box and voila! Gives a nice schematic of the different setups and scroll down for an explanation about fitment and differences in speedo etc. You will need to know the exact size and backspace/offset of your current setup.
