what size revo2's or Cooper Zeon LTZ's

I have an 08 DC sport with TSB rear springs and billies @ 0.85 up front. right now i have the stock Dueler HT's and do not like them, they have 18k on them and will likely last another 30k and i just want new tires. I was reasearching a lot and im thinking Cooper LTZ or maybe revo2's. i do 99% on road driving , i live in the northeast so snow is a consideration.

i was looking at 265/70/17 on my stock rims and they will fit on stock suspension from what I read here. i will be keeping stock rims no matter what tire i choose. i kinda want to go bigger but i cant find much info about TSB's set at 0.85". can i go bigger? will i need big spacers or just 1/4 inch? and if so what size can i do without major trimming?

thanks

 

You can't go any bigger than the 265/70/17 without a three inch lift and wheel spacers (or properly backspaced aftermarket wheels).

 

i love my revo's i dont know bout the revo 2. I had 285's on my f250 and it was the best tire i ever had. they ate snow,mud and rain and quiet on hwy. i went the wrong way over parking garage teeth and had a small hole in 1 tire that was fixed with a plug. i still have them im just figuring how to lift my taco to fit them. the stock dunlops blow donkey dik. oh mu buddy swears by the revos on his ford exploder,stock

 

i love my Zeon LTZ's. they have performed great in all conditions, including the snow last winter. cooper's website says they dont offer much off road traction, but i can vouch they do very well in the dirt.

here's a link to a nice review of the LTZ's by the trusted chris4x4:

do the LTZs only come E-rated?

 

yes

 

do you think they will ride rough. the guy at the tire shop strongly discouraged me from getting E rated on a Taco. He said they are way to stiff and heavy.

 

thanks Chris you have been a big help. now if i could only find a set under $1100

 

I got the revo 2's. They are a good tire. I like the p metric tires on this truck. I use mine as a daily driver so I want to get good gas mileage and the lighter tire definitely helps in that department.

 

went with the revo 2's. $700 out the doors installing saturday

 

did you get a quote for the ltz's too?

 

yeah about 900

 

that seems kid of high for the ltz's. heard good things about the revo 2's though. let us know how you like them.
