horrible road tire

Hard to balance, ride is pretty good when you get them to a good speed. Offroad they are fantastic. So far no real major complaints. Expect noise and a bumpy ride. I got them on a trade and I will be going with a different tire in the future as I do a lot of road driving. They suck the life out of your fuel tank, but if you are into mud they excel.

I was on my way home from GAJR in the rain; waiting for the red light to turn green, I popped the clutch and slowly turned left...I almost did a 360 on a very busy road and nearly got killed. I love these tires for wheeling, BUT be extremely careful on pavement! I miss my TRXus's! Now there's an all around assume tire!

I went back to the bias ply Swamper TSL but am prepared to pay the price. I don’t mean money either; frankly you can get a set of TSLs or LTBs very reasonably price wise but there are other prices to pay. I think I am having a mid-life crisis myself so there are things I put up with for riding Swampers. First of all there is the howl. I mean OTR truckers hold their ears when they pass me on the highway. Personally, I love the sound but it is louder than my 351 vented through duel Thrush glass-packs. For the first fifteen minutes of the trip they will shake your dental work loose, (until they warm up.) I can’t drive faster than 70 or they start to feel squirrely. That number goes lower if there are high crosswinds as there often are where I live. My wife will not ride in the truck with me. (This could be good or bad depending on your perception; the dog however loves it….) I got mine used because the guy that bought them new, lifted his truck, had his tires for one day, brought them back and went back to street tires cause they scared him. Swampers will maximize your skills when off road. They can lug their way out of ruts you had no business being in the first place but they are NOT a great street tire if you can’t live with their issues.
All that said, these tires are phenomenal off-road. If your concern is off-road performance above all else, and you don’t mind driving a little slow and rotating your tires regularly then this is the tire for you. I love the way the 32-9s look on my unlifted Bronco but the performance off-road is why I put up with the road manners.

Cons:

Keeping them balanced

These tires are mean. Tear through mud and ruts like nothing. Not a great snow tire. I have the 33x15.5x16.5 TSL SX on my J20 and they make the truck. Have been having trouble latley keeping them balanced. Have broken belts in them on occassion too.. ??

i Have a set of TSL's on my bronco 2 which is sitting stock they are 29x8.5 R 15 and they have lasted a year so far and i drive over 300 miles aweek on them and the best part is they have paid them selves off from local mud runs in the stock class they are keeping me up with the lifted jeeps in stock class and beating most of them.

I have an 2006 Jeep Rubicon. I never had a bias ply tire before, have owed 3 jeeps the other two were old CJ5 with 304 V8s. I have ran Cooper AT, Goodyear MTR's, and Mud King's. The Bias ply Swampers are simply amazing off road. I've climbed rock ledges, loose skree rock hills, snow, mud, dirt, whatever. Off Road its the best tire I've had no contest. On road they are not that bad on a Jeep. My wife even liked them on road. They make less noise on the highway new than my Goodyear MTR's do 1/2 worn. I suspect road noise would be bad if tires are not rotated and they cup or wear uneven. Overall, I'm impressed. If your a seasonal off roader don't buy them unless you plan to have an extra set of AT for road use. I live in Colorado so offroading is all over for me.

I run bead locks and run down at 5 lbs and I run some pretty wicked creeks and rocks and have never broke a bead or cut a sidewall to the point of needing repl'd.I honestly don't think I'd use any other tire if they were free.I like wheelin not changing tires.

excellent tire for off-road use

Not enough dirt roads so they make their own

I own a 1979 f-150 with16/38/15's.
Lifted to a height of 9 in's which clears the tires well. Marvelous in mud great in snow and are harmonic on pavement. Inexpensive,gets the job done

I got a set of these in 29x850x15 and I put them on a '89 Ltd Wagon and then switched them to a '97 Chrylser LHS and '94 Cadillac DeVille for austrailian pursuit racing. They hook up as good or bettr than tractor lugs but the handling is night and day better.

I've had three sets of tsl's and like them better then boggers. I ran two sets of 39.5/15/16.5 and loved them, walks through most mud and through deep snow and good on the rocks, but stay away from wintery roads or you'll just slide around. Just picked up some 44/18/16.5's so my 77 k10 should be invincable. Road manners arnt to bad but the 44's flat spot like a mother f$. Still worth every penny!
