Cooper Zeon LTZ A/T tires

[DenaliAK]

Anyone here run these tires?

I've heard nothing but good about them, both on and off-road, but haven't seen them mentioned here at all. I think they are a pretty good looking A/T tire.

Everybody and their brother's cousin's sister has BFG's here, but I'm not really fond of the look or the idea of spending $400+ per tire. That's crazy.

Just looking for some user-experience/feedback. Every review I've read has been good to outstanding. Here's a pic:

buddy from work has em on his 09 Sierra 4x4.... they look nice, but he doesnt do much off road driving. What are these going on, and what size?

Going on the Denali in the sig pic. 305/50 or 55/20's.

Thats a good looking tire. I dont really have any advice but in a few months I'm going to be looking for some new tires, and I would consider them. Was looking into the nitto t/g's. Same size as well.

My buddy has them on his hemi ram. They are something like 305 50/20's. He has probably 25,000 miles on them and they still have a ton of tread left and they are a great tire. When I pick up 20's next year, these are probably the tires I will get, for what it is worth.

Cool, good to hear about the tread-life. I'm so sick of seeing BFG's on everything that I refuse to get them. I like to be a tiny bit unique on my choices while still getting a good product.

I've actually read some direct comparison reviews on the LTZ's vs. BFG A/T KO's, and the LTZ's have held their own in everything and exceeded the BFG's in several categories. Not to mention they are half the price.....

i had those same tires on an f250 super crew diesel. they last forever. the price tag of the tire is kinda staggering but it beat buying tires every 20,000 miles. suprisingly quiet too.

 

[DenaliAK]

Compared to other highly-rated A/T tires the price is pretty good, I thought. Half the price, if not more than that, of the BFG's or Nittos, and roughly the same range as General AT2's. They seem to have good tread life and according to reviews perform on and off-road better all-around than any of the above. Starting to seem like a no-brainer to me.

I have them on my tahoe. LOVE them. Quiet, look good, everything about them I like. The tread life really holds up. The only thing I wish I did was go bigger, haha. Definitely recommend them. I had the same problem you did when it came to get tires. No one talked about them. So I took a gamble and couldn't be happier.

Honestly didn't notice any difference in mileage from the old tires. I'm now on my second set. I put about 30,000 miles on the first ones, lost some bearings and didn't notice it until it had worn the tread really unevenly. Not the tire's fault, but they weren't safe to drive. Got a whole new set a couple of months ago and love them. You really can't tell you have A/T tires on until you need them.

I have cooper atp tires on mine and I love them! They have been really nice so far. Will definitely buy cooper's again

Awesome. Thanks for the quick replies. Hittin up amazon right meow. BTW, the TOYO Proxes II started showing wear marks at 30K. Lame. You cant always get what you want. But if you gamble sometimes, you just might find, you get what you pay for. My gramps is a master mechanic in the houston area and Coopers are the only tires he'll sell at his repair shop. Shoulda listened... Also, cant help but noticed you mentioned something about your bearings. Yup. Doin that too. Driver's side wheel bearing and front diff carrier bearing. I dont blame the truck. I blame the mountains. But honestly, 138k miles on one awd-train in the mountains aint too shabby.

Ive had bfg's for over 20 years the basic design hasnt changed except for the KO with those sidewall lugs and we all know they aint cheap.... I like the look of those coopers im definitely going to consider them when its time to replace
