I am abpout to purchase some tires and was looking at the super swamper thornbird and the TSL radial. I really like th thornbird has anybody used these tires I have heard alot of two sided stories. Some say that they are good performing tire and others say they arent. any opinions on this topic.

I'd go with the radials my friend had thornbirds on his toyota and he would get stuck everywhere... If you are only offroading get Boggers they suck for onroad though they jerk around everywhere.

If it's for on road mostly get a Radial. Thornbirds do not come in radials. I have Parnelli Jones and love them. Kinda pricey though.

in my opinion....go with the radials.....i know several guys that had thornbirds..and we never found a place where they really worked good....:confused: they pretty much sucked on all counts..highway(they are bias)...they were ok in the sand but a bfg allterrain was way better...they dont clean in the mud unless they get spun real fast...and they hydroplaned in the rain pretty bad....snow wasa joke as well....just my opinion...
