I'm fairly certain I've decided to go with some Cooper Zeon LTZ tires for my truck when the stock tires are worn out(another 10K miles or so), stock ones are 275/55/20, I plan to go 275/60/20 with the Coopers. I have 2 questions:

 

1) Where is the best place to buy a set of 4 of these tires? Best price..?

 

2) I realize I will need to level out my truck for clearance..I see a lot of trucks here with the Rough Country 2" leveling kit. It seems like a great value for $65..any advantages to going with another kit that's more expensive or will the RC work just fine with this setup?

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

$174 a tire here

 

Imo the 2 "RC kit would be just fine over other name brand types,

(BMF, TGC, READY LIFT etc...)

 

all really serve the same purpose.

No advantages to other kits. Rough Country is just simple and works.

 

The tires are cheapest here on ebay through Discount Tire Direct

I'd like to add an additional question on here as I'm currently thinking about doing the exact same thing as the OP. I've got the 20" stock Chevy wheels and while I've been debating on getting some aftermarket wheels, I can't seem to find any that I really like at the moment so I'm thinking about just keeping them and replacing the crap Goodyear's with Cooper Zeon's. Like the OP, I'm going to do a RC 2" leveling kit as well. My question is, what would the benefit be to getting a 305/50 over a 275/60? I know that the 305 will be a little wider than stock and according to other threads and Cooper's website about the same height as stock, while the 275/60 will be the same width as stock but have a little taller sidewall and be about an inch taller overall than stock. The reason I ask this question is because I read in another thread that a 305 on the stock 20x8.5 wheel might look too wide, and also to see if everyone would agree that the 275/60 would fit without rubbing on a stock truck with just the 2" leveling kit.

 

So, in short, I would appreciate the following opinions:

Benefits/disadvantages to a 305/50 vs. 275/60 Cooper Zeon LTZ

Will a 305/50 Cooper Zeon look too wide on a stock 20" wheel

Will a 275/60 Cooper Zeon (33" tall tire) be ok/not rub on a stock 1500 with 2" leveling kit

 

I'll keep sorting through threads, but if anyone has any pictures of a 275/60 on a stock (Chevy or GMC) 20" wheel I'd like to see them.

 

Thanks for any info.

No benefits or advantages over the two. The 305 has more surface area with the road which will hurt mpg.

No a 305 will not look to wide. There's only a 1/2" difference from aftermarket 20x9

A 275 will no rub on stock wheels and 2"

 

Which size is up to you. The 305 will look much larger and more aggressive due to its width. The 275 will fill the fender more, have a larger sidewall and make the truck taller.

 

So 305 makes the truck appear bigger and 275 actually makes the truck bigger.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
