Does anyone have Super Swamper Radial TSLs on their bronco? If you have any pics of these tires on your bronco please send the more pics the better! Are these tires any good for a daily driver? And how long will they last on the street? thanks

my friend has had them on both his jeeps and they are pretty bad ass, also the hum of the tires didnt seem to be all that bad, but i guess a really nice sound system and them being 36s with 6" of lift kinda makes it harder to hear than my tires :p. both of his were DDs but as for wear i dotn know how long they will last but they will have decent wear since they are radials not bias. btw for off road performance htey kick some serious ass ;D;D

wet and snowy im not sure, they are probably most like most mud terrains, you should search for reviews on the net, as for the trxus, i know someone with the sts and they are giant but not quiet, as for the mud ones ive never heard too much about them, what i have heard they are not bad but not great, just good. in a magazine they did a tire test using popular 31s and the trxus and tsl were used in the test :)

Didn't have them on a Bronco, but my husband ran the TSL's on his 97 Ranger. They were absolutely awesome in snow and mud. They just tore through anything and had a good howl on road. Only thing is his wore out within 7K miles...less than half what they said. He rotated every couple thousand...then every thousand as they showed incredible wear. Don't know if it was because they were bias ply, or if we got a bad batch (they also had some dry rot within the first couple months). TSL's are absolutely a great choice for offroad, but I'm not so sure about onroad. I was upset to pay over $500 for tires that didn't even last a year. :(

I was debating between superswampers and bfg m/t. I got the bfg mud terrains because of the wear issue. I have then on my cherokee and on an explorer that are 2 yrs old and they still look new. Get an alignment also that helps tires from wearing down too fast. I love the look of swampers and the bfg's still look beefy. I see a lot of bald swampers from people running them on the street.

the reason they wore out fast is because they are bias ply, bias doesnt last long on the road, its a really soft compound, but the radials will last a lot longer, basically if you want the tsls, get them they are great tires and are actually cheaper then a lot of tires :)

My old 72' had them on it,,, loved them. The tire hum was so low piched, that it was almost soothing....lol, honestly it was not bad, wet roads and wet grass they suck in though,,,,snow, they work better, deep snow,,,,awesome.... they lasted a bit more than 30k miles
