Default Cooper Zeon Ride Report

Well I got my 275/60 20 Cooper Zeon LTZ tires put on last Friday morning. They looked great when I picked the truck up. Nice "meaty" tires with plenty of tread depth. I said to myself "now that is a truck tire." not those Wranglers that came on the truck. Anyway, I had a trip planned for the weekend and the tires performed great. I put close to 1200 miles on them. They are very quiet considering the tread design, you would think that they would "holler" going down the road. I didn't run into any rain, but I can vouch that they will handle a dry road switchback at 40mph. The rest of the time I ran 85 mph on the interstate with no issues. I would highly recomend these to anyone looking for new tires.

So glad to hear this Kebo! This is the tire I plan ongetting when my Wranglers (blah) finally run out. Cant beat that price either for an AT tire. They have gotten great reviews on here and I cant wait to test them out myself! How much did they run you at your shop?

And also, a question for everyone... how many miles did your stock Wranglers last you?

If you ever drive a truck with non-Wranglers, you'll know how poor your wet weather traction actually is. Switch when you can and you won't be sorry.

I bought my Ram in October and it had 37k miles on it and the tires were already down to the wear bars. I babied them to get me to this past week for replacemement. Had to get past xmas to have the money. They were $923 ordered, mounted and balanced by Discount Tire. I chose not to get the extended warranty. That would have been another $100.

Here they are in 305/50/20 but apparently they don't make this size anymore. That means I'm SOL if I need to replace just one.
