Mach1 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Bought an '07 F150 FX4 with under 50K miles last week (replaced my totaled '04 F150 4x4) that still had the stock Pirellis on it that are nearing replacement. Been checking out tires and came across the Cooper Zeon LTZs. I was running BFG AT KOs on my '04, but was looking at other options. The new truck is running the Ford 20" premium rims. The Zeons look good in pictures I've seen online and I've read many, many good reviews on them. Has anybody got any experience with these? Thanks.

Shaun_300 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I've never heard of them but they look nice! I also like the Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I sell tires for a living and those tires mentioned are good tires. I like the Hankook ATM or the Kelly TSR. I have the Hankooks on my work truck, they work good in all conditions and are not very noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Looks like a pretty nice tire. Pretty cool tread design on it. I've never ran any Coopers, but ran Mastercrafts a few times which are made by Cooper. We've had pretty good luck with them, in fact we just put some new Mastercraft AT2's on the Suburban.

LETMGROW Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I have 3 road vehicles and run Cooper tires on all of them. I have never had a call for the Zeons but am quite sure they would perform well based on my experience with Cooper tires. I really like the Discover M&S tires but they don't offer them in your size.

Mach1 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Some quick feedback on the Cooper Zeons I put on. I've put a little over 1000 miles on them over about the past 6 weeks. So far I've been pleased with them for my everyday driving, about 22 miles/day, which is all on pavement, with 7-8 stoplights and I don't get much chance to go above 60 mph. Mileage is hovering around 15.5 mpg, which is about 1.5 mpg higher than the worn out Pirellis that were the same size. The one longer interstate trip that I took (about 140 miles one way), I got about 16.5-17 mpg with the cruise set about 71-72 mph. I can live with that as it's better than I was getting with the Pirellis and the BFG A/Ts on my previous F150. Handling is good and road noise is slightly higher, but not that noticeable. Haven't really had the chance to get them off pavement to see how they handle a little rougher terrain. They're not extremely aggressive, but more so than your typical road tire. A nice blend for my needs. On the truck... Closer shot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Truck looks sharp! That tread pattern should be decent enough to handle most off road situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
