Seriously nice looking rig. I would also like to know how you like those STT Pros...I've been running the Discoverer STT's for a good while now, and love them. But I will need some new tires at some point...also curious as to how much you paid?

I'm loving the STT Pros, they have a very smooth ride to them and make a pleasant hum down the road without overwhelming the radio.

They have brought down my MPG since using the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs, but that's to be expected with the tread design and weight of the new tires.

So far, I haven't spun any tires at 35 PSI. I spun the Duratracs all the time in the rain, but these seem to bite the road a lot better in the rain.

I got all four for $800 shipped, but I also scored the Summer Cooper rebate for $70, so I paid $730 for all 4.

After I get my shocks, these will be moved to the short list, LOL

Are those 33's or 35's? Why so high on the PSI?

I have MT Baja mtz which are basically the same tire with a little different spec and love them. Will definitely buy them again. But I too wonder why you run yours at 35psi? I have my 33x12.5 set at 27-28 psi.

I run my duratracs at 36. I notice under 30 they feel sloppy on the street. I only air down to ~20 for the trails too.

That looks good, man. I have a 40mm in my Wrangler, too. I keep my spare fluids in there cause it's the perfect size for 1qt containers

Put fender flares on last night. The hardest part was putting the trim on the flares... Pretty frustrating. Had the windows tinted 2 days ago, 20% front 5% all rear windows. Tonight the new speedometer gear is going in the transfer case

They're 33s and I run them at max PSI to maximize fuel economy. When I decide to take a trail, that's typically when I air them down for traction anywhere from 12-28 PSI depending on the terrain.

I was a part of CJK, but I couldn't take it anymore LOL.

I'm with Trail Monkeys 4x4

The 33" Duratracs have a max capacity of 35 PSI, that's what I ran before these.
