Review of Interco's Super Swamper Mud Tire
The Super Swamper TSL (TSL = Three Stage Lug) is built on the principles of the original Swamper 78 series which, literally and figuratively "broke new ground" when it was first introduced back in 1970 by Interco Tire Corporation. The Super Swamper TSL is the classic bias ply mud tire that offers excellent traction in mud and on the rocks with extreme durability. When aired down into single digits, the Super Swamper TSL will bulge and flex conforming around rocks and terrain for exceptional traction. The proven and patented three stage lug design excels in any terrain thrown at it with rapid self-cleaning and an aggressive lug pattern that chews through the mud. Improvements over its predecessor, the Swamper 78 series, it offers and smoother ride with less rolling resistance for increased mileage on the road and better traction offroad with deeper treads and tougher sidewalls. However this tire's bottom line is it was designed for off-road abuse and will drive and handle on-road as you might expect an aggressive bias ply mud terrain tire might. available sizes range from a 4 ply 28x8.50-14LT up to a 38x12.50-16.5LT and 15/39.5-16.5LT in 10 ply ratings.

Manufacturers description of this tire:
Super Swamper TSL
The Super Swamper TSL with the patented TSL tread design offers unsurpassed traction under the toughest of conditions. Nine years of developing and testing produced the ultimate tire tread design. Short, intermediate and long massive lugs are uniquely arranged, each proportioned and spaced to bite quickly and to self-clean rapidly. The overall design gives today's on-and-off-road driver a tire that is both directionally and laterally stable; unmatched in performance. This is an extremely aggressive design that requires strict attention to air pressure when run on the highway.

Pros:	very good offroad, tough tires
Cons:	wear quickly, noisy on the road

i have a set of 44/18.5/16.5 on my 78 f-250. they are very good off road. in what ever terrain you put them in they do quite well. since they are not directional backing out of a hairy situation is accomplishable. if people say these tires wear great of even good they are full of shit! they wear quite quickly but if you drive sensibly and rotate the tires you can get some mileage out of them. i definitely recommend these tires for off-road use and minor street time. they are good tires.

Pros:	Very Aggressive in everything but snow
Cons:	IMPOSSIBLE to balance, very loud

This tire needs to be taken care of WISELY. Interco states that this is an aggressive OFFROAD tire ONLY. Now i know some of you like the look and such but really, try and keep it off the streets if possible. Now dont get me wrong here I have a 92' Cherokee turning a set of 36's and i do drive it on the road but be prepared. Interco states that this tire is known for blowouts at highway speeds. TRUE. Also because of the Three stage lug this tire tends to be hard to handle on crappy paved roads. Because this is a bias ply tire it also wears fairly fast and interco knows this so be prepaired that when you get down to about 30-40% tread the inner v-lugs will dissapear and make the tire look BALD and if you thought they were loud before wait till this point. Overall i think this tire is amazing if used correctly. Amazing in rocks, dirt, and mud if you keep the tires moving. Keep it away from deep snow, 18"+, and pay attention to air pressure. I've gotten almost 30k outta mine and am very pleased and this is also the cheapest swamper you can buy.
