Replaced stock goodyears

[Recontango]

After much searching, reading, and help from all of you, I decided to stick with the stock tire size for now to avoid any issues with rubbing and fitment. I went with Cooper Zeon LTZs. I think they look pretty good, not as aggressive if I went wider or taller, but not bad for 275/60/20s. I was worried I would be unimpressed, but I am happy I stuck with the stock size...for now...

Awesome, looks great! I'm really in the same boat and considering going to a 275/65/20...but I don't know if I can justify the added cost. Not to mention those are the exact tires I was considering too!

The new tires look great. The Coopers arent as baloon shaped as the factory Goodyears, so you can tell a noticable difference from the pics.

Please let us know your thoughts!
-Are the sidewalls stiffer than the GY Wranglers?
-Road noise level?
-General ride/comfort impressions?

Even if you came back to this thread in a couple months once you have some miles on'em I know a bunch of us would appreciate it.
It was WINDY here the other day and it pretty much solidified that the GY stockers are a big part of my trailer sway issue; they're just all over the place even when NOT towing!?

I put on a set of zeons a couple mths ago stock size.
i love em they look wider then the GY
noise is a bit louder, i was getting 14.5/100KM wit the GY's
now im getting 15.8/100KMS i haul a 5th wheel around quite abit
diffently a great upgrade for the price of the tires.

great in the snow
really good in the rain
i had to put a set of fenderflares on cause they like to fling up rocks and dirt
but all and all a great buy, i will be ordering a new set when needed!

Thanks mxblaster, glad to hear I made a good choice

I had her out on the highway last night and as tight at the 2013 cab is I didn't really notice any additional road noise. With the radio off and the window cracked you can hear a bit of a hum, maybe slightly more that with the goodyears, but not much. So far, I notice the ride is a bit more stiff, but not at all uncomfortable, I think the air suspension absorbs most of it. Handling does seem to be improved. I will give a better report after a few more miles.
