Thanks for the quick comments guys!

I'm trying to get all of my ducks in a row before pulling the trigger on my truck in the near future.

Everyone I work with is die hard Nitto fans (terra/trail/mud graplers) I never have really been a big fan of them. They are way over priced for the quality of tires IMO. Don't get me wrong they are great tires but for the price they could be A LOT better.
Plus anytime Ive ever had problems with coopers just file a complaint with them wearing out quickly and they giver you a good deal on your next set.

Have you considered Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10's? They look quite similar to the other two, are very quiet and perform great in the rain, mud and anything else i've thrown at them.

Hankook, Cooper and Nitto...all make great tires
I ran cooper cobras on my chevy for years, and in love with my nittos right now. old man runs hankooks and swears by their quietness. ur 305 is pretty wide so ur gonna get some noise out of it. u cant go wrong with any of these tires..i think in the end it just comes down to price and whats available.

lookswise they all carry a similar tread patter...on the sidewall nittos gonna have the "lightning bolts" on the side, cooper is kinda bare and boring, hankooks have a snazzy sidewall design. its all person preference and ur not gonna go wrong with any of them. run them right and rotate/balance and u'll get 30k+ out of all of them.

They were alot cheaper than the Nitto Terra Grapplers as well.
Man, those Coopers look killer on your truck. Nice ride you got there. Makes me want to go buy a set of Coopers for mine.

I went with the Cooper Discoverer A/T3s and I've been very happy with them. They have a slightly more aggressive tread pattern than the Zeons but according to Cooper's website are actually quieter. They ride very smooth and the traction is excellent. I took them on a 450 mile ski trip to northern Michigan this past weekend where I drove through a snowstorm that dumped about 15 inches of snow over night and they performed flawlessly. I can't say enough good things about these tires!

Here are some pics (Stock size 275/55/20).

Good luck in your search,
