Les Schwab tires also told me these are a much newer technoligy than the Wild Country TXRs I have ran for years, and he feels they are superior.

Not to take this thread completely offline, but if either of you could be so kind as to let me (or us) know what your experiences with the Coop's STT's are I'd be grateful. I've been running Coops for the past 4+ years (not STTs) and they've been a great tire. So much so, that I plan on giving them my business this fall since I'm in the market for some new skins. I've been eyeballing the STTs fro quite some time, but I'm having a tough time deciding be them and the Discoverer S/T-C.

I know what you mean about deciding.
I am still debating between stock size and the one inch over 285s.
I am having the OME coil/shock 2.5" lift put on later, so it might make sence to go with the 285s.
It might look funny lifted and the 265s?
I do not know, might not look bad either still with the 265s.
I just hate throwing off the speedo a little, and loosing a tad of power.
I am diggin' the power of this new rig over my very tired 3.0 that was in the 4Runner.

I can only image how good those extra horses feel after some many years in a 3.slow.

Corey, I used a speedo-check station, and found that the speedometer with 285 was still accurate to the point where you won't notice, less than a mile off in a 5 mile distance. As for power loss, you're probably not going to notice much IF ANY. It'll look silly with 265 and a lift in my opinion, even my 285s look kind of small with the OME lift.
