My set of the original STT went 55k miles in 315/75r16 size under my TJ. I got new tires (ST Maxx) when they hit 5/32 tread depth.
STT Pro or ST Maxx????

I've run the old STT, the ST-Maxx, the S/T, and now have the STT-Pro (that I won here on Expo; thank you, Expo/Cooper).
The STT-Pro works the best in GA crappy clay. The ST-Maxx works better on our roads ----- but the difference isn't dramatic like the difference between a street tire and a hard mud tire.
Both the Pro and Maxx BLOW AWAY the older tires with the older rubber compound both on and off road.
Spending my money, next time it's the Maxx for me. If I could get the Pro for the same money though, I'd go Pro. The Pro is pretty sharp looking...
I just got back from about a 5,000 mile roadtrip, btw. Only about 200 miles of it offroad, a mixture of dirt and beach. The Pro was very composed on the highway, backroads, anywhere. Absolutely no complaints.

I have ran both the MAXX in 265/75/16 10 plys and the PRO's in 31x10.5x15 6 plys. Here is my review:
PRO: Great in everything except icy roads and loose gravel. Not the best highway manners, but completely daily driver friendly. excels in deep snow, mud and rocks. bottom line. Get this tire! If you live in a snowy climate..get the MAXX!
MAXX: ran down to 10psi in moab an in the mountains..no problems. very durable carcass. Great all around tire. Lacks slightly in mud, but saw the wheel back and forth to use the shoulder lugs. Excels in loose gravel and rocks. Bottom Line.......Great all around tire, good off road prowess, Must have if you live in a snowy climate.

I'm running the Pros 35x12.50R15 in the Shorty. They have excellent grip. In the couple of times I've taken them on the trail I've been impressed with them, and I wheel all the time. I'll be heading to Peten in a couple of weeks where I will really get a chance to test them out in the mud. Can't wait!

With winter weather approaching I decided to replace my S/T Maxx's today with the exact same tire. I could have ran the old set farther, but with the potential of some ice/snow looming, I decided to pull the trigger a little early.
The old set was retired with just a little over 55k miles on them :ylsmoke:

Twice the pleasure, twice the fun
I've been so happy with the 315/70 R17 S/T Maxx on the Jeep, that I bought the exact same tire - same size for the Scout.
That said, I still think the ST Pro is an excellent choice for those running in muddy conditions, or those that just want the "look". :victory:
