I have found a place that has both in the size im looking for . should I go with the new design incase I have a tire problem or use the old design, because I have heard they offer better traction?
thanks Craig

I have the S/T II Craig, i thought i was getting the S/T but they showed up at my door as S/T II 
.....and so far i love them. the only time i have been able to break them loose in a straight line is on wet pavement. granted, i only have a 70ish HP tow tune in but its a light truck (my 01) and stock suspension and i try hard they are the 285/60/17 and i have them at 45 psi for daily driving. i am going to put them on IronHyde when i take it up to Epping in a few weeks and i'll give a report

Eh, I havent been too impressed with the STs at the track so far. Just as buttery as the Michelins they replaced. I sure hope when the weather warms up they'll get better.
Have to admit they are very good in heavy rain on the freeway and for cornering, though.

i think they make a 275/70r16 but not shure , @ your power level i would stay with something in the 31-32" range as you know taller tire has more contact patch , and you got the power to push them .
Suprized your not going to a slick ? Unless these are for the street ?

Was thinking something for the street.I'm not making no power.with the new setup I can hardely break the tires loose.Only dynoed 613 with 39 psi of boost.I think my rims and tires kill me.The tiresweight 52lbs ea 285/75/16 Nitto terra grapplers and 16x8 Gunner 8s from Discount tire.Truck felt alot better with the 265/75/16 BFG KO's and the stock PYO's,I also think the 1055 takes away from the dyno low blowing the tires off on the street like I had with the 1057.
I found mine here:
