Has anyone seen the Zeon LTZ in a bigger size than stock?

And then there's these...

https://www.tiresavings.com/tireShop...season=Regular

33 x 12.5 for $180 and change. If you're into the offroad thing anyway. Haven't found any bad reviews either. But I'm sure they're kinda noisy...

I did some searching online and couldn't find any reviews that had ANYthing bad to say about the Couragia M/T's. Great in mud, not TOO loud on the highway, etc. Guys even say the wear is great. Only downside I can see is that they only offer limited sizes. :/

OP, did you finally get tires or are you still actively looking?

My impressions of Cooper Zeon LTZ's is they are a cross breed of A/T and street. They are very good in the snow and are outstanding in wet weather. I find them to be a little slick in mud but I was involved in thick clay and are a little "slick" if you will on gravel. They are super quiet on the highway. I mean super quiet. The looks are stunnin IMO and are not overkill with crap up the sidewall..etc
I would rate them an 8 out of 10 overall and I'm a picky tire guy so that's a good rating.

I would stay away from aggressive treaded tires for onroad use especially no-namers. MOST dedicated offroad tires like those are generally biasply and not steel belted which means NO highway! I seen nothing that stated those Coragia or whatever they are...are steel belted. They are rated by load range so it's hard to tell.

I'll give you another vote for the Zeon LTZ. I really like mine. I've had them on for 10.5 months. I don't drive the truck too much, so that's only about 2500 miles. I bought them as replacements for the crappy stockers. They handle much better in the rain, were decent in the snow, and they look good to boot. 2500 miles and they look brand new. I don't know they'll hold up as the mileage increases. It would be interesting to hear about the tire wear. I don't think they've been out for that long... 2 years maybe?

I've been very happy with the purchase. They are night and day between the stockers and the LTZ's.

One note - I did have a "bad" tire when I first purchased them. It pulled badly. I was having problems with the alignment, and after moving the tire to the back, the alignment was great. Ended up having Discount Tire replace it under warranty.

I agree with 'dog, the LTZs fit a much needed niche as a hybrid between a traditional street All-Season radial tire and a true All-Terrain tire. Good tire especially in northern climates for winter or for a truck that only goes off the pavement on dry trails, like camping, etc.

There are also some really good true All-Terrain tires that are designed for excellent highway performance. Chief among them are Nitto Terra Grapplers, Toyo Open Country A/Ts and Mickey Thompson ATZs. Which should be considered if your off-road jaunts include some terrain more than just dry trails. Although NOT anywhere close to a Mud-Terrain tire off-road, they give a good balance of performance on both.
