Reviews: Super Swamper TSL Thornbird Tires

Bought for my 90 yj looks great low road noise

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!

I got a new set and love them they ride great no shaking like a lot of people say they do they ride smooth and do great off road on my 84 f150 I will buy another set once they wear out I'm very pleased with them and glad I made the choice to get them

These particular tires are back order momentarily, but 4wp customer service has been great to answer questions. Interco tires are hard to beat, made in the USA!

Great all around tire for snow,rain,sand and off road. Second pair of 35 12.5 17 on my jeeps. Very low road noise. 65,000 miles and still got 1/2" of tread left. Never had issues clogging up in the mud. Not an aggressive looking tire.

As a daily driver I run 20psi in rear and 25psi in front. I air down to 8psi all around when going trail riding. Great road manners despite its aggressive appearance and wet roads don't seem to affect traction. Had to static balance, then added 8oz. of balancing beads per tire and i can't tell I don't have street tires at 60+ MPH. I have to say, I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend these tires to anyone that's looking for an aggressive tire with good road manners.

I would buy these for a stock jeep that I want to play in but still drive daily.

if you want a smooth ride you need to stay on the street with your street tires. these are not for your pavement princess. these are ment to be out in the mud and dirt liked they were designed for. I loved these on my 94 F150 and looking to put a set on my 73 half ton.

Great tires, they ride excellent and balanced nicely.

Love the sound of the tires on the road love the traction in the sand and the look of the tire

Great tire for keepers that see alot of sand. My offroadind mainly consist of coastal beaches. Float great on sand with little tire spin for all you who ride windows down and tops off. Your worst problem is wet pavement! Add a little more time for stops when wet.

GREAT BUY EXCELLENT TRACTION AND EVEN BETTER LOOK. VERY VERSATILE TIRE. GREAT ON AND ESPECIALLY OFF ROAD. BUY IT!

These Tires float on sand i cant explain it but they are hands down the best! i drive on Beaches and dunes with no problems. lighter trucks can stay in 2 wheel drive on sand with these tires.

I have these on my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. You better have a great budget for them because they are pricey.

Slips very easy on wet surfaces. Eorks great on mud, offroad,and does great on snow

love these tires, came to this site looking to replace mine and was blown away by the guys that didnt give these a chance! when i first got them i almost had them returned... i almost wrecked tying to drive on the freeway! dang jeep felt like it was tying to do the hula! BUT i gave them a couple weeks and it smoothed right out! my jeep will now climb a tree! so.... give them time! break them in! only negative is cost and noise and vibration on roads... but off-road? THEY RULE!

Installed on my 80 Toyota pickup. I have had many off road tires. These have a lot of attitude and can back it up with performance. My favorite thing about these tires is the enormous lugs that work like claws for mud snow and sand and the center section that excels on rocks and dirt.
