TREADEPOT just jacked up their prices
Bought 4 Cooper Zeon LTZ 285/50-20 I got in last week for $155-156.
My fault wrong size, just called to see if I could arrange anything and buy new tires in the 275/60-20. He names off a price that I did not recall on the website, so I asked. He said the price went up for the new shipment and will not be lowered.
Anyone know of a better deal out there now?
or
What's my Ram going to look like running a 285/50-20, **** I assume. May just put them on because I'm going to loose $200 in shipping regardless.

Its more then a half inch. 285/50R20 is 11.2 wide and and 31.2 inches tall (I measure mine at 31 1/8). 275/60R20 is 10.8 wide and 33 inches tall (meaured at 32 3/4). so that is 1 5/8 measured difference in tire height.

But you originally said the height was 1/2 inch diff, and it is much more than that at 1 5/8 measured height diff.

I was just getting ready to order the zeon's this morning and noticed the same price jump. I emailed them asking why and never got a reply. Looks like I am going with discounttire to get them now. Tread depot just lost a customer because they decided to hike up the price 18/tire in a 2 day span.
