Op, keep in mind that the stock 17's are only 7" wide as compared to your 20's, which are 8.5" wide. The coopers run small too. Good luck.

I got a good deal on my coopers by having discounttiredirect.com price match rims4less.com. rims4less is no longer in business and I think their prices are from a while ago but there website is still up and will go through the checkout so you get a total price. I tried to have treadepot.com price match but they wouldn't and told me that site is no longer in business.

Had to turn around on some back roads today so I had my truck off center and heard something rub while I was backing up. Got home and could tell where my tires were rubbing on my sway bar. Not bad but wanted to give an update.

Thanks for the update man. I think I'm gonna go with the Cooper tires also. I expect them to rub at times but jus normal driving is what my main concern was. Your not gonna cut anything are ya??

No I'm still going to say under normal driving conditions I'm not going to have any problem. See if you can get discount tire direct to price match that site I stated above. You'll save a good bit.

same dilemma I am going through.

 

I am going to keep my factory 20s and run the cooper STTs 33x12.5/20 or Nitto trail grappler MT 295/55/20....

 

I'm torn which way to go. My brother in law has had the coopers on his ram for 40k miles and they look good, fairly loud....but then again I've never heard the trail grapplers on the road...and I do a bit of highway driving so road noise is key for me.

 

Hows the road noise?

I can't speak for the trails but I think your going to have road noise associated with any aggressive looking tire. I would say from my experience the cooper is not an excessively loud tire.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
