tsl and irok are made by the same company, im putting 38/14.50/16.5 irok radials on my truck next. superswamper is a badass tire but i think its way to much for daily driving ive got interco thornbirds on my truck my truck now but from what i understand they dont make that tire anymore

no they do but thornbirds SUCK! tsl and iroks both arent the best for road use, the radials are a little better but none will last. i run 2 different tires on my ford. the baja claws are my play tires, and if i know i am going to be doing alot of street driving i have a set of 35 inch all terrains i throw on it.
