TSL Swampers

Hey i'm looking at som TSL's and was wondering if any on here had them and how well they pull in the mud....I need all i can get on my 2wd....you kow how it goes. I'm looking at some 32x11.50r15's at $100 per tire...is that a good price? They have less than 5 miles on them.

sounds good to me. but your gas mileage and steering are gonna suck. unless you go offroad like once a week i wouldnt do it.

i agree w waldo
consider procomp A/T

decent price, 50k mileage waranty, great tread pattern for moderate offroading... those swampers are going to last you 17k on the streets if you're lucky, and like to drive more conservatively than your grandmother. unless these tires are for strictly offroading only, i'd go w the A/T. ($124 ea.)

check 'em out at www.4wheelparts.com

thanks:fordrules:

What kind of TSL Swampers are they (Radials, SX, Bias ply, SSR's)? At $100 each, that's still a good price. If you do get the Swampers, don't run the recommended tire pressure. Put them at about 28psi in stead of 35psi, so the tire tread lays flat. That way you won't wear down the center of the tires, like most street going Swamper runners do.
Swampers are the BEST in mud (except the junk ThornTurds).
