Well, I finally chose my tire and went with the STT in 285/70r17 on my 07 2" leveled FJ. I was torn between this and the ST Maxx, and was also torn between a 285 or 295. My local tire Kingdom hooked me up with some price matching the interweb, and also with lifetime balance and rotate. He couldn't get 295s in either tire, so had I gone with those I woulda had to order blindly online, with just forum pics to go on. So he ordered the STT for me to look at, and test fit, with no obligation. I had a feeling that once he fit them, I'd be sold. And sure enough, I was. They look awesome. Even though this is a daily driver, I don't drive it "daily" as it sits at the airport when I go on trips, so I wasn't really concerned with the mileage I'd get with a "mud" tire. The STT doesn't seem as agressive as some MTs so I figured I be good.
These tires are sweet. And very quiet!!!! Im really surprised at the noise level, not bad at all. It was also raining when I got them installed, so I tossed the truck around and they gripped the road great!!! The ride is slightly stiffer, but honestly, I like it compared to the Goodyear ATs I had on there. On the drive to the airport at 80mph, they tracked and felt great, and were not loud at all. I don't always drive 80...but wanted to test 'em out. I plan on doing a 5 tire rotation with a method described here on FJC so hopefully I will get some good mileage on these as other forum members have had. I think the 295s would look good too, and who knows, maybe I'll throw a spacer on here if I want a little more beef.
Ok, enough of me.....heres some FJ porn :grin:

After: I'll post some more pics in the sunlight later
