285/60 Or 275/70?

I really like the look of the Cooper Zeon tires. However for my 18 inch rim my choices are limited. I have a RC leveling kit. I can either go with the 285/60-18 which is a bit smaller than stock or the 275/70-18 which is a little over a 33" tire. Somthing like 33.2 I think. Maybe 33.4. Many of you told me I would have to trim with that tire in my other thread. So if it was your truck which would you go with? I just wished they made a 285/65.. but I guess we can't everything lol

Yea I have looked at all of them, I just like the Coopers the best. If I don't go with coopers it will prolly be the TGs. I just wanted to know what people here would. Go with a smaller but wider tire or try and fit the slightly larger one.

Hell, go with the 275's and let us know how they work.

go with the 275/70 tires. The 285/60 will be too short and look weird. But I think the 275 tires will look great and fit good with the 2" RC kit. Also are you running the stock rims?

[scottmurf22]

Yea the stock 18s

[03blackz71]

with the stock rims go with the 275/70/18 tires. I have the same 2" RC kit and have 285/70/17 tires on my stock rims and have room to go bigger.

Oh really? Did you have to trim?

[03blackz71]
