Default Cooper Zeon LTZ Tires Installed

New treads. How sweet it is. I got Cooper Zeon LTZ LT265/70/17. They were about $180 per tire (after shipping) from TreadDepot.com....our site sponsor. This was the best price I was able to find. This tire looks great. I like the white lettering, just enough, not too much. I DO NOT have a level kit and there is minimal rub at the back corner of the front mud flap / splash guard. Very minor, nothing a half inch of cutting won't fix. Also pretty quite considering the aggressive tread. These photos are (camera phone) poor. I'll get some better ones up later.

Same here. I burned them off as fast as I could. On my way to have them installed, I left a pair of 60' parallel lines in the parking lot at work. It normally won't do that, but a little salt residue leaves a nice slick surface

Thanks for the kind words. I searched high and low for them in a store. Even the Cooper dealers weren't sure they could get it. They just recently started making them for the 17" wheel....and only in the 265/70/17. Good thing that is the size I wanted. They don't make them in a 16". Some places on-line are selling them for $235 a tire. When I saw the Treaddepot.com price, I pulled the trigger. They are made in Ohio too, so I'm glad to support those folks and not the Koreans.
