Need a little advice

I have an '08 F150 Supercrew FX4 with 275x55x20's from the factory and a 2.5" leveling kit. I was looking at Cooper Zeon ltx tires that are 305x50x20. Are those a quality tire and will I have any problems with rubbing? Thanks for any input.

Theres a good bit of people on here running cooper tires and they have good reviews. I would go with a 305/55/20 because IMO a 305/50 will look to small. The only place the 305/55 might rub is on the valence at full lock, but that can be easily trimmed.

Cooper does make quality tires, but there have been some people here having cracking issues from the tread down to the sidewall.

Check this thread https://www.f150online.com/forums/wh...z-cracked.html and there are other threads linked inside.

I agree. Go with 305/55-20's (33x12.50). A 305/50-20 (32x12.50) is gonna look a little small.
