the difference between 305 55 20 and 275 60 20 is barely noticable to the eye, other than the price, if you want to save money and like the wider look, you might want to look into 305 50 20, the zeon ltz are like 130 per tire st that size

my neighbor has 305 55 20 goodyear wranglers on his tundra, when it sits next to my truck with 275 60 20, they look almost the same, if i were to do it again, i would have gone wit an 33 12.5 mt, any a/t tire, in the 275-305 range looks so much alike in size, i dont think the money is worth a half inch in height and 1 inch in width, because the differnce is so subtle, the sidewall of the tire is what makes the look of the truck, 305 55 20 is practically the same price as a 33 12.5 20. imo

Everyone in my hunting club in south Ga. who has/had ProComps have bi*ched about them wearing out fast. I got a buddy who had a set of ProComp ATs on his Wrangler and they were slicks at 18,000 miles.

As far as the Cooper Zeons go, good tire. My only issue is the ply rating ain't there and they are likely to get punctures off road. For a 100% street tire though, they are a very solid tire...
