Trckmagik's New Meats

I ordered my new meats today for the trail rig.

36x12.50x15 Super Swamper TSL


I will post pics of them on the explorer as soon as I have them mounted.

That's ok, for some reason the SX looks kinda off to me anyways. Anybody else ever notice that? It seems like they are wimpier for some reason and wear worse.

they dont wear any worse than the bias TSL's. i can also tell you from experience they arent wimpy. and if you're worried about wear, then you have no business getting a bias swamper.

dam, ive gotta get rid of these 35's. im very quickly becoming a "little dog". :p

Yes sir. I have been doing alot of reading on other boards about the Swampers. These will last me awhile as I dont drive the vehicle but a couple 10 times a year. My 35" BFG Mud are 4 years old and still have 60 to 70% tread on them. Thats how little I drive the trail truck.

I am excited about getting these mounted up. New tires are the best. I can smell them now
