I quite believe that, the mk 1 Outy sticks like the poverbial and rides on caster like 215/60 x 16, but the ride is hard as the springs are heavy duty for the cars weight, can't have it all ways if it was softly sprung it would roll.
To be fair the STR is probably meant for more passenger biased use and maybe a more sophisticated design, the cart sprung rear end (hardly sophisticated) Hilux did benefit from tyres more appropriate to its more basic design.
Hilux performed its best when on Vredestein Wintracs, SWM wanted to run them all year round it wouldn't put a foot wrong whatever the weather on those, best tyre i've ever driven on in the cold and wet or snow by miles.
PS, far more sensible and affordable size you've switched to MT.
