My new Super Swampers TSL Radials are on!!! *56K warning Pic heavy*

So last night I met up with a fellow Yotatecher and I was able to help him get rid f some of his tires and wheels that he had posted for sale on here. Well less than 12 hours later here is the final product!!! No it did not take me 12 hors to put the tires on, I slept, ate, and wrapped X-mas gifts....some of them just happened to be for myself !!!!

Side by side comparison of the current tires and the new Super Swampers


Rears are on!!!


They're are!


Here's a little comparison of the before and afters::
Before..

After..


I just like this angle..


Thanks goes out to GunNut for the sweet deal on these! I can't wait to get started on some of those projects we were talking about.

Wow, what a difference. It's amazing what some aggressive shoes will do. How do they do on the highway? I've heard they can be a little hard to balance.

mt_goat - Not sure about the Highway yet. In town they are doing ok...The longer you drive them the smoother the ride. Just leaving the neighborhood though feels like an acces road! Also once you hit about 20 to 25mph's it smooths out also.

Yeah, so far I'm loving the new more aggresive look!!!! It just compliments the flared fenders so much better.

I love my SS Iroks.

Looking Good..... wait for a cold morning and they will be loud as all get out. Had a set of them and the looks alone are worth a little noise

I love mine. They work great in the mud and on the road. However they do suck on ice and packed down snow. Will be coming off soon for the winter. They are wearing great too. Been on there a little over a year and around 25-30k. I'd have to look up the paper work when I put them on but thats close.
Merry Christmas to all

So you mean that these tires actually wear quite well. When talking about noise how loud are they? What at like 55mph? Can you still talk? THEY LOOK BADA$$

They equal out to about 33x10.50 16's. A nice improvement from my 31.10.5 15's. Plus the tread is what makes it all worth while!

I believe the back spacing was 4"...Not 100% sure but that sounds right.

Had a pair of 38x16x16.5 TSL Radials on my 99 F250 V10, and they were no where NEAR as loud as the 33x12.5x15 Xterrains I have on my runner. Ahh I miss my truck. She was such a hoss.



Tread wear on em aint that great. My bud only got round 40k till they looked like this:



And yes, we camo stripe our trucks here in southern texas lol. Haha sorry, back on topic, great tires!

I had the 32x10.50R15 TSL Radials.. smooth as glass.. not like my 33 TSL Bias... The Radials had as good of manners as my BFG M/T's do, and the tread wear was awesome.. after 25 or 35K (cant remember) they had 65% left.. either way pretty darn good
