okay, punch little brother in the mouth and jack him up against the wall and say quit being a tattle tale lol.* i dont know what brand i have since they were on the truck when i bought it but i have some and you can see them in my sig picture. for a single cab you should easily be able to find some for under 100... i think i saw westins on ebay for almost 200 but they are really proud of their stuff and you can find some for way cheaper. good luck

Yeaqh, gotta get those old man running boards off....lol
Those Coopers look alot like the Mickey Thompson ATZ's.

I will never buy tires from anywhere local EVER again. theyt gave me a quote of $1275 plus tax on the LTZ;s($1377). i bought them over the Net and had them mounted/balanced for a grand total of $740. best of all...No tax and no disposal since the old one's were new anyways ans I wanted to sell them! Gotta pay disposal for each tire purchased here in NY regardless of keeping the tires or not. Buying over the net..no disposal fees..no tax.
I got a price locally for my wife's tires. They priced me at $890 plus tax($961). I got the same tires on the Net for $550 including mount/balance.

Discount tire direct, Tirerack, Treaddepot will get my business forever.

Decent looking mild A/T tread. For the mud, you'da wanted something with a bit more of a side bite, but for mild off-road use they should be just fine.

Most of what I hear about that tire is that it is good on both wet and dry pavement, above average in snow, average on ice, fair in light mud and has a very good tread life.

You should be happy with them...

Nice looking tire.Im going to my local tire guy Saturday to get LTZs put on.He gave me a good deal at 178 a tire plus a 75 dollar rebate.Hope they work better on wet roads than the factory junkers i have now.I have almost lost it in corners during rain twice now.Enough is enough,i cant believe they put them goodyears on anything but a wheel barrow.

U sure your's were the same? Mine have no noise whatsoever. They handle better than my old Toyo's but of course they were pretty much bald when I bought the truck.
