What Tire To Go With In The 305 50 20 Size

[kmirts]

i had my heart set on the trail grapplers but guess what that size is not available. so now my question is what are some good aggressive looking tires. i have read alot on the cooper zeons just for some reason they dont look very aggressive. these tires are going on stock gmt 900 sierra 20's the truck has a rc 2" level.

Photo's don't do the Zeon's justice. Just to hard to capture the tread. I owned a set and REALLY liked them. On paper I believe they have better spec's than the trail grapplers. I got 46,000 and could have easily gone 50,000 miles if I wanted. I just swapped to the Cooper discoverer H/T Plus's. Still a decent tread pattern but more of a road tire than an A/T tire. In my eye's they are a little of both. Anyways, If I were you, I'd SERIOUSLY consider them. They were an awesome tire.

Thanx for the pics what size were those tires, do they run a little smaller, do you think the 305's will look good on factory wheels?

Like everyone else has said... pictures dont do the Zeons justice.

 

I owned them as well.

 

BUT, i'd get the General Grabber AT2s (i own them too )

The one's I posted were 275/55r20's and yes, you could fit the 305/50r20's without rubbing. But I am running the 2" RC leveling kit and my new tires are 305/50r20's.

I have Cooper Zeon's as well and am very pleased. I was looking at the General's as well especially because of the good reviews but personally after seeing both in person I'm very glad I got the Cooper's. +1 on the pix comment. Pix do these tires no justice. They just look way better in person.

With much help from this site I recently decided on the 305 50 20 Zeon and everyone here was right, pictures don't do this tire any justice. I would highly recommend this tire to anyone.
