Ride comfort, looks, handling off road and highway, etc. Just overall better tire.

The LTZ is generally regarded as a hybrid tire between a highway and an all-terrain tire whereas a Toyo A/T is a true all-terrain tire.

As a general rule of thumb, that would mean a little longer life, and better pavement manners from the LTZ. Price should also be a good bit cheaper on the LTZ, especially in 20" flavor.

The Toyo is however generally considered one of the better A/Ts on the market and has a solid reputation for street manners and longevity.

You really can't go too wrong with either. IMO for more street use, choose the LTZs, if you want a little better trail tire, then opt for the Toyo...

I priced both today. Zeon 917.00 Toyo 991.00 installed,Alligned and free lifetime rotation and balance.275/60/20. The Toyo has a 50k limited mileage warranty were as the Zeon doesn't have any. I am mostly on highway but my dad has a farm that i am on occasionally. Having a tough time deciding.
