Default Tire Opinion

Hey everyone. I just wanted to say that this site is great. You guys have been a wealth of knowledge and opinions etc.

I am wanting to replace my stock goodyears. I just got my new Centerlines, nor I need tires. I am debating between the Cooper Zeon LTZz, ProComp AT's and Toyo AT's. I am just really torn. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I would love some BFG's but not at 3 something a tire for 20's, ouch.

Cheers,

Jeff

The Toyo's are a nice tire, but they are more spendy, the 305-55/20 is over 300$ a tire. The Coopers and Pro Comp's are cheaper. You doing stock size or bigger?

Toyo's are a great tire, I've got a few hunting/fishing/off-road buddies that have/had Pro Comps and all are in agreement that they don't last for ****.

I'm a huge Mickey Thompson/Dick Cepek fan and in a A/T tire, really like the ATZ's. Great handling characteristics and last forever. I'd rate the Toyo's and the Mickey's as the top two that I know of...

Ok, this is what I found, the Cooper Zeon LTZ in a 275/60-20 runs about 195$. The ProComp in the same size is about the same price, the Nitto Tera is 275 and is a 275/65 so it is a little taller. The Toyo's the got on ebay for 850 for 4 and they are 275/60-20 and a very good tire and hard to beat at that price. The Micky Thompson ATZ I didn't see in the size you want, you would have to go wider. I would go Toyo Open Country AT and be very happy.

Cool! thanks for all the input. I have been really considering the Toyo's and sounds like everyone has nothing but good stuff to say about them.

Thanks again.
