Had a set of Thornbirds on my 1999 Z71. At only 10,000 miles, one of the tires tread seperated from the actual sidewall while I was traveling 65mph on the interstate. Interco replaced it, then 3,000 miles later, different tire did the same thing, only this time I didn't pucker as much cause i was going slower. Understand, I had never hit a curb, etc. with these tires, otherwise maybe I could have understood. Rep told me that there is a problem with the sidewall const. and thus the reason for cases of tread seperation. Bottom line, Thornbirds are not made for the highway, or daily drivers. Just not a well constructed tire.

I wont run anything but a TSL radial from now on. I have ran the X-terrain, MT/R, STS, bogge,r PJ and so far I love the TSL radial the best... Also RKIK got 25K on his last set and said had a good 10K left on them... I have 6K on my set and cant tell they have been driven on IMO...

I'd say go with the TSL Radial. You can get it in a 36x14.50. If you want somethign that will get more mileage out of go with MTR's. They grip better in the mud than X-terrains and wear about the same. Go to Peterson's website and look aat the mud tire test on the page, MTR's finished 3rd, beating the BFG's and procomps. However, since you are looking at the SSR I would say its between the SSR and TSL radial.

Good to hear that the TSL Radial is a quality tire. I don't want to knock Interco, just found out the hard way that running a non-radial tire, in this case the Thornbird, was not a smart move, as far as daily drivers go.

Hey I just rememberred i have a pic of some thornbirds you should look at!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!

So nice to see someone with the same feeling torwards suckturds that I do :crazy:

Anyway, go with a regular old TSL, the flat spots will be gone in a few minutes and from then on it's no problems :crazy:

 

[Layne]

Is the IROK radial still aggressive enough to work well offroad? It sucks that they are backordered..

 

[Dark Eternal]

teh iroks are very agressive
