Griz, why do you suppose that is? ST tires are not cheap, at about $100 each for 225/75-15. If they were to buy LT tire from Michelin or BFG in 16" in quantity, they'd get a good price. I just don't understand the whole ST thing. I know that they have softer sidewalls so they ride better and can "scrub" in tight turns, but when they fail, they don't work so well!
