I don't know, that Zeon is a pretty sexy tire. On looks alone, I would definitely go for the Zeon. Also, if you prefer more of a street look, and still want to go offroading, then the Zeon's fit the bill.

Besides, everyone has the BFG and the coopers are way cheaper. Are these going on your Expedition? If so, then that's another vote for the Zeon's. I take it you're a family man with a vehicle like that and the Coopers are almost silent on the highway. Plus their lower profile looks awesome on SUV's.

This is an easy one in my book!

BFG's, great tires. That's why you see so many of them on the road.

Thank you for the replies. I just tried to order the BFG under my father in-laws account. I estimated the cost w/mounting, balancing, & valve stems to $790.28. Now the price is $893.79. I may start looking around for a better price.

I've had the zeons for a couple of months now and realy like them. The BFG is a great tire also but if price is an issue then cooper zeons would definatley be cheaper.
