It would seem that, with the demise of the older 2-1/2 ton and 5 ton trucks that the US military is getting rid of their bias ply tires.
I have used a number of the titan tires in several sizes and have been happy with them, especially in regard to them not weather cracking prematurely. I do not recommend the STA tires for that very reason.
The titans that I have bought seem to be in the 2006-2009 date range.
As to price, their price is about a quarter of what a new 11.00-20 will cost you. Up here in Canada, the few companies that I have noticed who import will charge you about $800CDN for that tire, in the US, it will be about $400 USD. So for $125, it is kind of hard to beat. I use one of the border shipping services and go down to pick them up.
