Time for new tires

Trying to decide on the new tires. I have 275/70/18 cooper zeons right now. Got close to 50k out of them and was pleased. Trying to decide now if I want to try 285s or stick with 275s. In between bfg because of the white letters or maybe toyo at2s.. Any opinions would be great.

So I take it you want to stay with all terrain type tires? I don't have any experience with the Toyo's but the BFG are great for all terrain purposes. I have them on my old '76 Chevy project truck and they'll last a very long time.

I've had the bfg's before on my Tacoma and liked them. Really just like the look of those white letters on a white truck like mine. I am going to stick in the A/T section as I drive mostly road with some paths mixed in every now and again while hunting. Trying to decide if I should sacrifice width for height I guess?? It's a tough decision

I have been looking at the Zeon LTZ's myself. Mileage you got out of them is impressive. How is the road noise? Fairly quiet?

I liked the ltz's. They are well mannered on the road and quiet. Just now starting to hum a little bit now that the tread has gotten to the wear bar. I want something a little more aggressive look is the only reason I'm not going back with the coopers

Awesome...good to hear. I am leaning towards quiet as the main the priority myself and these might just be the right balance. Thanks.

Well, I ordered 275/70/18's today in the bfg at.. 33.2x11 on the 8 inch rim is what the specs say. Got them from my local tire store for $975 out the door.. No brainer when compared to 285/65/18's at $1350.. Should have them mounted tomorrow. Can't wait to see how it turns out
