I'm a big fan of these tires thus far. Behave nicely on the road, not much noise at all, look great and have a nice ride to them. Can't comment on the tread life because I have not had them very long. Taken them through some mud holes without any problem at all. I did a little rough necking last year so I know what you mean about the crazy lease roads. In my opinion these should tackle those lease roads with ease while behaving just as nicely on the highway. Great tire. Highly recommended!
255/55/19 Cooper Zeons are a GO!

I'll echo ablood's sentiments about the tire word for word. Tires, to me were suprisingly quiet. I installed them on our Range Rover. Great highway manners.
I got mine on last week. So far, so good. I bot a 19" rim for a full sized spare and kept the best tire for that job. The 255/55/19 fit the spare hole, but the winch would not pull up the assembly. The tire shop used two floor jacks to bring up the tire and rim and the winch was able to pull tight. So, I find the winch is not a reliable part and should be replaced for about $300. I suspect the winch had never been used from the look of the tiny spare.
I am considering a mod using a small ATV 12 volt winch to bring a tab of metal up through the floor so I can put in a pin. The rubber contact points in the spare well may apply enough of a load for the pin not to be loose and have the spare rattle around. If not, I will use a lawn tractor inner tube. A 2000lb. winch would not be useful for recovery, but, since I live in the sticks, I sometimes could use a winch to drag a pile of brush or limbs up the hill. A quick method of winch unmounting and remounting on a hitch receiver, would make the winch into a dual use device.
I will post photos if this looks like a go.

Can someone post some pics of their Cooper Zeons on their 19" rims please?

Any change in MPG? What about road noise? I assume on road handling is good as well? Also did you get a matching spare? And lastly, does it fit into the stock location?
I have a feeling these might be hard to find as Discount Tire was telling me that a quick search only turned up 1 tire. They were going to call Cooper Tires or their distributor and see how soon they could get the rest.
