Default Tire Help???

I was thinking about these for my 06' ram 1500 Quad 4x4 Laramie

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...d=20&ar=60

Anyone have these?? Or anything similar? I want a tire for the stock 20" rims but I want something a little more aggressive. My only concerns are....Any shimming at hwy speeds? How loud are they?
Any feedback would be appreciated!! Thanks.

These are nice tires, I almost got these but were to pricy for me. i have copper 275/55/20 all season nice tire but not as nice as these. I wish i would of gone with the 60 series cuz my truck got a little bouncier around holes and stuff. If you got smaller tires than these i dont think u would be disapointed

Yeah, those tires would look great with the new 20" Chrome stock rims.

Your best bet might be to just read the reviews on the discount tire page.

I've liked the results from the Goodyear Silent Armor tires but I don't like the price. The 20's we use are $265 each.

I've had those exact Coopers for 3 weeks and LOVE them. You can hear them with the windows down but it's not the "wah wah" noise of mudding-type tires. It's just more tread noise than less aggressive tires. Windows up and/or radio on and you don't hear it at all.

I got them in 305/50/20 and they look great. I should have considered fender flares though - that width really sends crap up the side of the truck in the rain. You can't beat them for hydroplane resistance and dry traciton is great too. I also wanted a more "truck" tire than the typical 20 inch offerings and these fit the bill perfectly.

Discount Tire's customer service is fantastic as well. I've bought from the Tire Rack many times since they first opened online but DT made it even easier. I'll now consider DT for every tire purchase I make.

I'll have pics as soon as I find the charger for my camera battery [8D]
