Transformation: Grocery Wagon to Something More Capable (1 Viewer)

I have the same impression. These things are slightly louder than the LTX's that were on here, but any decent tire will be since those are basically silent on pavement.

These have about 6k on them so far and still look brand new with no visible wear. The ride is exceptional for an LT and mid-range profile height. Handling is excellent, and in the rain, they're beyond excellent - if there is such a thing. Off road, they've been great, but I've only been able to get out on some hunting camp roads. So far, no issues and only compliments. Barring a catastrophic change in events, these will be the next tires I have without a doubt. However, that may actually be a few years down the road with the way these things are wearing.

Do they have the M+S marking? What PSI are you running?

 

[bamachem]

they are M+S. I was thinking that they were LT, but apparently, they're not.

they are 285/60R18 M+S

they are rated for 3066 lbs at 50 PSIG.

i run them at 38, and they seem to be doing great so far.

Idk why nobody likes the flares on the 100 series, I like them. It makes it look a lot cleaner, imo. I know I will get flamed for that haha

So how many miles do you have on the Coopers now? I ordered the same set and am having them put on Thursday. I went with the Tundra wheel since I could find them for a better price. Truck looks good. I removed my running boards but am keeping the flares on since my truck is white. Scared to take them off and see the difference 10 years in the sun does to the paint....

Tires look great! You posted a week too late for me... I ended up getting 295 TGs on my 16s. They worked out great- clocked 2500 miles in 9 days! Jackson, Moab, Capitol Reef, Bryce, south Rim GC, Vegas, Redrocks, Zion, SLC, Jackson. I wouldn't know how Coopers would feel for another 2 years...

Looks great! Please give us updates...

Hi Bamachem,

Those wheel and tire combination look great! I didn't see you mention this, but what kind of wheels are those? Confirming that you're running on stock suspension so far and not getting any rubs inside the wheelwells with this tire and wheel combination?

 

[bamachem]

Stock 2006 18" wheels w/ the graphite finish (not bright silver, but not gray either).

No rubbing at all. I cranked the T-Bars about 1" to get out of the stinkbug stance, but that's it. I won't lift until I go up in tire size. These are only 32's.

I just ordered the same tires: Cooper Zeon LTZ in same size, 285/60R18. I have P rated tires now and they suck. Anyway, will post pics when they get put on this Wed.
