Question Tire Question/Opinion?

Well it is getting time for new tires. Only got 40k miles out of the POS Goodyear stock tires. I then put Cooper Zeon's on. They have been fantastic. I got the full 50k out of them. If I can't find anything better, I will go with them again, but I wanted to reach out and see if anyone had any better suggestions. Mine is a 4x2 pavement queen. The most off road it sees is a dirt road or my back yard. Thanks for any input.

If you liked the Zeon's go for them again. Honestly, I don't think there is any better choice out there for a 4x2 or even a 4x4 pavement truck, especially for a 20" wheel...

If you want a good street tire, I love the yokohama parada spec-x, rides great, got about 40-45k off the old ones, and just recently picked up a new wider set to get a bit more traction, they look great too....

I guess it's been documented on this site recently but I got 55k out of my "POS's" and never expected to from the moment I saw the name on the sidewall. And that was with not taking the best of care of them as far as monitoring psi and always rotating on time, if at all when I changed my own oil as well as towing a 30 ft RV all over the South. So, I put on a new set of the same POS's. LOL. If I had more options locally, though, I may have chosen something else.

And I still had some legal tread left, BTW, on the old set when I took them off.
