the sts are good for street for the look and thats about it, personally i think. i had a set on my f150 and constantly had balance issues, and being that it was my daily driver i got pretty annoyed having to constantly be at discount tire on saturday mornings. i sold them after about 10,000 miles and they still had about 75% tread left. i switched over to BFG ATs, which i went with because thats what ive always run on my trucks. unfortunately it got totalled 3 months after i got them installed.

i almost bought some for mine, but i've had other pro comps and the rubber just seems to wear much faster than BFGs or Nittos, to name a few. They look sweet for sure tho

Look into the BFGoodrich KM2's. A lot of guys run them now including me and they are pretty agressive yet extemely quiet on the road and are supposed to have a very good tread life

Remember the Truxus STS is an Interco tire which means a rather soft rubber compound even for a Radial. The tires work well on the street. The tread pattern is unique. If you offroad its not really all that great and will leave you stuck often. The voids are horribly small and do not clean out well. The only offroad terrain that the tire is ok in is sand anthat you can still find better tires for.

Mileage id say no more than 30-35k

I've read a lot of mixed reviews on the Trxus STS
