    First alignment try on the left, final for the day on the right. Yes, initial toe was out .91 on the pax side. No wonder it scrubbed. :eek:

    I also forgot how much these tires rub when brand new.

    After driving to work today, I can't tell you how true this statement is. My steering feels more like Audi than Toyota compared to how it was.

    So nice to be able to let go of the wheel and not make an immediate lane change.

    STT Pros are REEEEEALLY chunky / beefy borderline MT tire. ST Maxx is a far better all around AT tire. Much quieter on the road too. The Pros are so friggin loud on my buddies 4runner, even he admits they weren't the best choice.

    What size are you rocking now? The ST Maxx run big for size btw. The 265/75R16 measures 32" where an average AT 265/75R16 is 31.6

    315/75/16. Kinda thinking about 305s.. but if its only $60 to keep the same size, I might stay the same. I havent done any research though. My tread is still in amazing shape. And I just looked at the date code on my tires, and they were born 4/5/17

    If you're rocking "040 shark" as a offroad toy only, then theres no real downside to 315. But this is my daily, so 265/75R16 is as big as I care to go.

    Why not a 285 or a 255? Roughly the same diameter, but saves a fair bit of weight and rolling resistance with a narrower contact patch.
