Thornbirds on the street...
Does the comparison to a single-engine Cessna help? ;)

LMAO.... Yeah they wear, With an AMAZING side affect, You can actually get a headache/stomach ache at Highway speeds just from the sound...Life expectancy is low, If you even have a concern with whether or not they'll last, chances are you dont want em...Now Mud, THATS a differant story...Excellent Excellent Mud Tire...Jon I wasn't expecting the Cesna comment, man I busted up...
 






THORNBIRDS ARE AWESOME..ON THE STREET OR IN THE MUD..
I HAVE 33X12.50'S AND I LOVE EM.

BigWillie, how have your thornbirds lasted, on the street. About how long is there life. Is the sounds really loud, because i kind of want a loud tire, just so people can reconize who it is.
 






HECK YEAH THERE LOUD..
I WANTED A LOUD TIRE TOO THATS WHY I GOT THEM..BUT I GOT ALOT OF COLPLEMENTS ABOUT THE LOOK ALSO..
 






Have you thought about the Boggers, those suckers are loud too.
And they are the king of mud. I have heard good and bad things about the thornbirds, but the Boggers are all good except for how loud they are, but thats what you want anyway.

just my 2 cents
 






BIGWILLIE

How has your wear been on the thornbirds? Man thats awsome if they are loud woohoo.
 






Is it those outrageous sidewall lugs that make them do so good in mud?
 






I'm also interested in how these are gonna do, I have 33x12.50's on my '74 Bronco. That isn't quite operable yet, but they look great. Anyone else actually have them?
 






i would not recommend thornbirds in any terrain they have to dig down like 6 inches to start grabbing anything but they weren't to lound on the road
 






Boggers Baby!

If you want really Loud, Rough rid-n, Fast wear-n Tyres, you can't go wrong with a set of Boggers! YeeeHaww!
 






The thornbirds actually aren't a good mud tire, they are good for deep ruts and that's about it, plus that sidewall look stupid.

If you want a good mud tire and a loud tire go with the bogger. But if you want a tire that will last you a little longer then go with a radial super swamper or a swamper ssr. They will be plenty loud also.

Put if you really wanna get loud, then buy some tractor tires - lol
