Default Super Swamper Vortrac?

Ok, so I was browsing 4 wheel parts for a different tire to run, and I came across the Super swamper Vortrac. Its a new tire, so I am not sure that anyone is running them, but what do you think of them? Here is a pic:


Any input is appreciated, but I really like the way I look. I might have to go with these to give em a shot.

Looks like they should do the trick, wear is the biggest concern when getting a new tire that not been out long.

yeah, wear is a concern, but I am not too worried about that. I don't drive the truck every day.

I've decided these are the tires I am going to pick up. Haven't found anyone running them yet, so I guess I will be a guinea pig. I just gotta scrap together a few more $$ before I pul the trigger. You can bet that I won't be going through 4 wheel parts after the fiasco I had with my last tire order through them.

I just hope they don't follow suite with the rest of their tires and are out of round

I for one am going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. Most of their other tires are meant strictly for offroad, or mostly for offroad. I have found that their radial tires round out just fine, but their bias ply tires are the ones with the problems.

Being that they come from Interco....I bet that they will be soft like every other tire they make. I think I would stick with tires that you KNOW are going to last.

I'm giving it some more thought. The pro comp buy 3 get 1 free sale has started at a few places, and I might just revert back to the extreme all terrains like I'd planned.
