Reviews: Super Swamper 38.5x14.50-16.5LT Tire, TSL Thornbird - T-349

A little pricey but worth the $! Just don't put too much air in them or you'll wear out the center of the tread! My 35"/12.5/ 16.5's only require 18psi for my 6200 Lb 4?4 and someone had them pumped up to 35psi cause that's what it says on the sidewall. ( that is the max psi for seating the bead only ). I am currently buying another set as mine are now super slicks. Even so, without 4 wheel drive (the front driveshaft was off) I made it through a very pounded out and super muddy dirt road. Rear tires were 7/8 submerged and @5000rpm and in 2nd gear high range (70mph @ the wheels) those thornbirds bogged my 3/4 ton 6200lb daily driver through about 300yds of nasty, super wet and muddy, rut infested and tore up dirt road. Don't get me wrong, I didn't realize it was that bad and it was too late to stop and turn around even if there was a spot to do so, and I was getting really concerned especially when I was literally only moving about a quarter of a mph at times and the whole time trying to think of someone nearby who had a tractor to come get me out because I don't think my 970 Cat payloader would of even made it in there to get me out! If it wasn't for the side lugs on those tires, I'm sure I would have had to walk out and my truck might still be in there. Maybe with a few other trucks and a payloader or tractor or two keeping it company for who knows how long. Absolutely THE BEST on and off road tires I have ever owned!
