Looking at a LR3 HSE that has the 19" wheels on it. I've been looking at tire options and have really only come across 2 that are A/T design in the 255/55-19 size. The Cooper Zeon LTZ Cooper Tire & Rubber Company - Cooper Zeon LTZ?
and the Goodyear Duratrac Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac | Goodyear Tires
Does anyone have any experience with either of these tires or have any other suggestions besides buying 18" wheels?
I ran duratrac's on my D1 and loved them, lots of people run them. Not too noisy and never had any real issues with them.

I currently have the Coopers on my LR3 and love them too, but haven't done anything other than dirt roads and beach sand with them.

I have the Zeon's and they are great so far in the desert terrain and moderate rocks. They are noisy on the HWY but so far so good.

What kind of mileage do you guys have on the Coopers?

Not sure, the truck came with them when I bought it. It had 45K on it then and 65K now. No noticable wear, cupping, or any other weird issues even after driving it with bad bushings for a while and pulling a boat while loaded to the gills from San Antonio to here.

Ended up buying the Goodyear Dura Tracs and really like them so far. Quiet on the highway. Will report back after I try them out in the snow and offroad.
