O.k., I have to get something off my chest. All you people who keep bashing the Thornbird are novice mud enthusiasts fr sure!! The key to using the Interco TSL Thornbird in mud applications is quite simple. You let your tires down to between 20-15 psi, before entering the mud. This allows the massive side lugs to roll downward enough that they can contact whatever it is you are attempting to cross. Less air pressure also allows the tires to flex more, thus improving tire bite capabilities. I went from 34x10.50x16 Swamper LTBs, to 35x12.50x16 TSL Thornbirds. The LTB is a great tire for the money if you want raw pulling power! I went through some deep South Texas gumbo fields in 2 wheel with them, and my friends where amazed. The draw back is that they wear out very quickly, while the Thornbird seems to last a while. I will say it one last time. BLEED TIRE PRESSURE DOWN(20 to 15 psi)BEFORE ENTERING THE MUD, SAND, SNOW, OR WHATEVER THE HELL IT IS YOU WANT TO CROSS, AND THESE TIRES WILL GET YOU THERE AND BACK AGAIN!!!!!!!!

had em a couple of months ago and worked great offroad, specially when you need strong side wall support, only bit noise between 40-60mph but so far much better than my previous experince with other tyres in this calss. need a little attention when braking on wet bitumen w/o ABS.

I have a set of 285 75 16 on my 93 Chev stepside and at 8000 miles they are at less than 50% tread left. I will never buy these tires again or recomend them to anyone else. GARBAGE!!!

It's obvious some of the reviews on this tire are made by people that don't have a clue how to drive in adverse conditions, by some that expect more from the tire than what it's designed for and even a few young punks (the language and mispelled words are a clue of age and maturity). This tire is a perfect tire for what it is designed for. A compromise between full off road tires and factory installed all-terrains. It's not expensive. It works very well in moderate mud, snow and in sand if you know how to drive in these conditions and are not relying on a "super tire" to overcome your inadequacies or abilities. These tires will do just fine for the week-end trip to the deer camp or on the farm and to work during the week. They will get you good wear if rotated properly and kept balanced. They will not allow you to climb tall mountains, forge rivers and lakes, run the dunes and rock climb. They will get you in and out of the deer woods on those rain slick and rutted dirt roads without much difficulty and when the snow comes, they'll get you around just fine. Buy them for the purpose they are designed and you'll be happy. I've used them for years and will continue to do so.

I bought these in mind that i was primarily using them for highway and towing with the weekly trip to the snow or mud. They advertised that they were great for on road purposes. i put about 12000 miles on them so about half tread life and they went to shit. I have the death wobbles at 45 mph. so i took them to get rebalanced and still no luck. These are mounted on a brand new chevy truck so i know it's none of my suspension. My brother has iroks that have lasted longer. DON'T BUY THESE TIRES IF YOU GOING TO USE THEM ON THE STREET!

I have a set of 38.5s on my 80 Cj-7. With the Chevy 350, 10 and 12 bolt both locked and 4.56's I have never had it get stuck. Since my Jeep is not a daily driver, I purposely try to get it stuck. I have sunk it 4 or 5 foot deep at tellico and it finds traction no matter what. They clean out well. It seems like rooster tail globs are falling on the soft top for 10 seconds after I get out. On the road it is okay. Anyone who is really into offroading knows you lose ride quality with anything you do. They can last 20 to 25 thousand as long as you stay off the big pedal. Get them balanced with sand bags and align the steering every here and there, and they last longer. If you break yourself to buy these and don't try to keep the suspension in line they go quick, but so does any other tire. Overall I have had 10 sets of different tires over the years and these are the best. I am on my third set of them now. I replace them pretty early though because I run them more or less for the mud instead of the chick factor these other guys are talking about. I would recommend them to anyone who would not get on here and whine about stupid things like road noise (oh no my truck makes noise) or (well gee golly fred I am in 2 foot of mud and I can't turn the tires) Come on... just throw the Amateur neon light above your name, and grow up. Awesome tire, ignore the people putting them on 2WD 4 cyl automatic Rangers with a body lift from Autozone who think they are driving a Swamp Buggy on tractor tires that get stuck in the puddles in the Walmart parking lot.
