Was wondering if this was a good price/good tire for a daily driver,ex.tread life. Local shop is offering the 285/70/17 for just under 1400 dollars for 5 and this includes mount and balance(lifetime) and swapping over tpms sensors to my new wheels. I don't know anyone running these but I'm pretty sure they're good off-road just looking for on road performance review.

Keep Calm and Chive On

my friends have them and say they are great on the road. Fairly quite for a mud terrain. And have good road manners all around. I think you will be happy with them.

These are my second set i have had on Jeeps, Great Tire. Quite, and they last for a M/T. They do get noisier as they wear, but not bad. I think I had over 40,000 on my first set and they had plenty of life left.

Second set on my JKU...first set with 5 tire rotation lasted me close to 99K km's (65k miles). No flats, no sidewall punctures, no chunking of lugs and are great in mud, snow & rocks and good in the rain and overall a quiet M/T on pavement. The STT's have a very similar tread to the Toyo M/T but are cheaper & lighter tire. The only downfalls of the STT's: is it seemed 1 out of 5 tires needed a pile of weight to balance, they suck on ice (like any hard compound M/T) and you do have to stay on top of them for tire rotation or you will get uneven wear. I usually rotated every 7500km (5k miles).

I will get a 3rd set for sure once my 35's wear out.

I ran a set for a while, they are a very good all around tire. The only negative I found was they didn't hold up well to the type of rocks I wheel on. I normally go to Superlift park in Arkansas and the rocks there were very hard on the STTs.

Ran 275x70x18 STT for a few years and a crazy 80,000 miles with 5 tire rotation. 80 mile commute just turns the odometer.
