Default 305 50 20 vs 275 60 20 cooper zeon

What do you guys think would be better for urban driving and snow driving in mountains, not much off road driving, dirt and a little mud. I have 2002 ram QC 4x4 with the pain in my *** stock 20's. They are about the same price. Discount tire quoted me $790 for either set with mount, install, etc. I have seen picts but it is still hard for me to decide.

I have the 305's which I think look much better but again, the skinnier one's will be better in the snow. All depends on what you want.

I think 275 are a bit skinny, i have 275 55 20 now, I like the 305, but i wanted a little more sidewall

Dave-o, I have the 275/60/20's on mine, and I gotta tell ya, when i first ordered them, I wasn't sure about them, but the pictures online do them no justice, they are alot better than the stockers that came on the truck, and are actually bigger than stock although they were the same size IMO....but the tread is pretty darn deep which I love and they are quiet...no snow down here in Florida, but I have backed my truck way down into some lakes around here while laaunching a boat and they pull my 2wd right out...so, I would go with the 275...also, I got mine thru Discounttiredirect.com for 680 shipped, I had to wait about a week to receive them , but then only cost about 30 bucks to have them mounted...so, if you havent already ordered them, maybe you should give them a call....just my 2 cents

i will check on my order, thanks for the heads up, i have 275 55 now, and they aren't that skinny. I also think a larger sidewall would make the tire look bigger also.
