Anyone actually running STA tires? (1 Viewer)

I'm just about to pull the trigger and grab a set of 7.5 16" traxions. I have a set of BFG AT KO's now which I will switch over to our NIssan Safari/Patrol. Just wondering if I'm going to regret my purchase in comparison to the BFG's.

So if anyone had driven these then I'd love to hear how they did overall.

Best-

Wowee, they have 35x9.0's! Those are some serious pizza cutters.

The 35's are on18" wheels though. Pretty cool stuff. I guess I'll have to be the guinea pig for these tires. Going in with a friend on them with the dollar to yen we can actually afford them relative to stuff here.

She is getting the 6.50 16 sawtooth for her very cool 73 mitsu jeep and I'll get the 7.50 16 tubeless to go on my 16x5.5's with a set of mikes hub caps.... super fun.

What are the prices you are finding? Everything I read on them (about 3 years back is the best I could find) they were around $120 a tire. The best I can find now is on Coker tire for 260 a tire!!!! that is over a 100% markup in 3 years. I know the U.S. Doallar isn't worth a crap anymore but I didn't know it was that bad.
