I ran stts on my last jeep. They performed great in rocks and mud. I put nearly 30k on them and had 50-60% tread when I sold it. Never had issues with chunking, and had three hard trips at rausch creek on them.

LOL......Well maybe some on here have no sympathy for your wallet but i've been in the same situation in the past so i understand your position.......For the record i run Toyo OC MT's.....solid tire no question in my mind.......But bottom line is it's your $$ and your Jeep so you do what you feel is right for you......If it were me I'd go with the 4 Toyo's and the lift and ride out for 4-6 weeks and see if you can and save for the other Toyo over that period of time......Just a thought

Cheers

I had 35" stt's on my jeep before i went to trxus mt 37s. I hated the stt's they did fine on the road but off road they were the worst tire i have owned. I have a couple buddies that run toyos and they do alot better then my stts ever did. My new trxus mts top them both off road but are a little rough in the road. But i have ran boggers on my dd so i dont mind the truxs

This is exactly what I did. In fact, just so people know, I got a big ass nail in one of my Toyos a couple weeks after getting them. I was gonna plug it on the spot, but I pulled the nail and the tire was barely leaking any air. I marked the spot and drove 20 mins to a tire shop to get it repaired. Honestly you'd really have to F'up a load range E toyo for it to leave you standed.

Go with the coopers trust me..no need for any fancy financing of a damn set of Tires..they're cheaper, extremely reliable and wear very well. Hands down the best mt for a DD IMHO.
