Looking for some advice.

So I just got my 2.5 in rough country leveling kit for my 2015 crew planning on putting it on this weekend. But what I would like some advise on are tires. I have narrowed it down to two. 295/55r20 to you AT 2 or 305/55r20 cooper ltz zeon for now they will be on factory wheels. Looking on some thoughts on the pros and cons of tires and size. Thanks

I have the 295/55/20 toyo AT on my stock wheels. With 2.5 leveling kit. I only have about 1,100 miles on the truck. But so far I really like them. Tires fit the wheel nicely and looks good on the truck.

I can't speak specifically to that size in the cooper but have run two sets of 275/60-20. Tires were very quiet and the ride was close to stock. My milage was only .5 to 1 mile less than stock since they didn't weigh much over stock. My only complaint was they looked pretty worn out with about 35k on them. Thought they would have lasted a little longer.

I had the cooper's on my 2009 4X2 in a 275/60r20 was able to get 45000 miles out of them I hearing that the toyos will get 55000 to 60000 out of them. my main reason for not looking at the toyo 305s. Is weight they show to be 74 lbs cooper's are 64. And the 295 toyos 61 lbs. I drive a good amount to working every day so don't want to kill my mileage.

Im not sure if my expectations were unrealistic or not. My brothers BFG KO's have around 35k on them and still look like they have a lot left in them. The tires on my dads '14 Camaro only lasted about 20k so I guess it could be worse. I have heard nothing but good about the Toyos as far as longevity but most do say there is a hit to the mpg due to the weight. If you can live with the mpg loss if go with the Toyos. I just put some Nitto TG G2's on mine and wish I would have put the Toyo AT2 a Extremes on it.
