Just came back from the shop after waiting three hours for them to try and put on new tires. I wanted them to put on Cooper Zeon XST 255/55/18. Well, they could not get the tires inflate. They said the stillfness of the sidewall and the design of the inner lip would not allow a seal.
Anyone ever have this happen with the stock rims?
I just installed Dunlop SP 5000 255/55 HR 18 on the stock rims with no problems.
I have 285/60/18's I think those are bigger and they fit
Yes - same issue here.
.
I had Mastercraft Courser HTR Plus - 255-55-18 - installed. I believe the Mastercraft tires are manufactured by Cooper. The Courser HTR Plus also has a 'beefy' sidewall with a raised portion to protect the wheel.
.
They had difficulty getting the tire to seat properly on the wheel. They used 'tire lube' on the tire and were forced to use a much more psi (75 or higher) to get the tire to seat on the wheel.

I guess I will stay away from them as well.Quote:
