I ordered some new tires for my yet to come '11 FX4 with 20`s. I was set on Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs, but then ran into the Nitto Trail Grapplers when I was shopping, which are a super nice tire.
After doing some reading it sounds as if the trail grapplers will only last about 30000 miles, which was when I spotted another members Platinum riding on Cooper Zeon LTZ`s. I decided to read up on the Coopers, in which lots of people are getting 50000+ miles on them.
After going back and forth on practicality and looking cool, I decided to order the Coopers off Discount Tire Direct. Then today I get an email telling me that the tires are 3 weeks back ordered, should I wait, or go with something else?

 

I have had the duratracs for almost 20k now. i could not be happier, I would say they still have 95% tread still on em. they can get alittle loud when im going about 55-60ish but other than that i love em. Oh ya, there awesome in the mud and when we got our little snow storm down here in Texas i felt very comfortable while driving (never drivin on iced over roads before)

 

The Duratracs look awesome, I'm still thinking about spending a bit more to get them. A bunch of my crew trucks have Duratracs on them, and after taking one on the highway I thought they were a bit on the loud side.
If anyone else has ran the Trail Grapplers, or Cooper Zeon LTZ, let me know what those tires are like.

 

i have had the nittos and some co workers have em at work and i love em the only down side to me is no white letters on em... guys at work like em alot and they have a good amount of tread on em and the are on the highway alot...their deer lease is 4 hours away....but the dura tracks i like the style alot but heard that the side walls are thinner then most but idk.

 

I have goodyear wrangler silent armors. they are awesome. they have a pretty aggressive tread, and they make little to no noise while driving. they handle great in wet conditions and get through snow excellent

 

What size are you going with? I'm planning to upgrade my stock tires on my 20's, but haven't found a solid answer on how big we can go on stock height or a level lift. I like the Duratracs a lot, but man are they expensive. I had great luck with BFG A/T's in the past. Just traded in an FJ Cruiser that had 63K miles on a set and counting.

 

My order still stands for the 305/55r20 Cooper Zeons, truck still isn't here and Ford will need it for week at least to put on all the extras. I think I'll just wait for the Coopers.
