    I ordered these last week. They had a 10% off plus free shipping so it came out to like $730 for a set.

    So guys, thinking of going 255/80r17? Will have ome 881s with a bumper, but I'm a 2.7 extra cab. So around 2-2.5 inches I suppose, I will hit trails every now and then.

    But, my main question is the mpg drop? 2.7 5spd with 4.30s. I'm getting 18 to 20mpg with 38lb at3s.

    Had to get them special ordered when I got mine. Not that it matters, it's just a phone call for the shop, anywhere not willing to do that isn't worth your time or money. Make sure to get a good price on them! Places will charge you whatever they feel like sometimes. PM me if you want an idea of fair pricing for ST MAXX.

    I've been talking to my local Discount Tire shop. The S/T MAXX in that size were on back order since at least June. They told me to put some money down and they'll order me up a set and when they come in they'd give me a call. I never did that and I got tired of waiting so earlier this week I ended up ordering some Toyo MT in the same size. I can't wait, they'll be in next week.
