Review of Interco's Super Swamper SX / TSL Mud Tire
The Super Swamper SX / TSL (TSL = Three Stage Lug) can be described in one word.  EXTREME.  The Super Swamper TSL type tire 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 / SX is king of offroad bias ply mud tires that not only offers excellent traction in mud and on the rocks but surpasses all others in terms of extreme durability.  Built with up to a 10 ply rating and up to a 6 ply rating in the sidewall, Super Swamper SX is known as one of the most extreme offroad tires able to take abuse well beyond what other tires are capable of.  When aired down into single digits, the Super Swamper TSL SX 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.  Sidewall protection comes from sidewall ply ratings and wrap-around tread designed to protect and propell.  This tire's bottom line is it was designed to survive serious off-road abuse.  Over time and through abuse this tire may possibly develop ominous looking cracks in the sidewall rubber but most users of this extreme tire say it is only cosmetic and nothing to worry about.  The compromise that suffers with this tire is that it is not a good street tire.  The inherent bias ply characteristics lead to poor handling on-road.  However as a tire designed for extreme offroad abuse, this tire would be an excellent tire for a dedicated offroader or trailered 4x4.  Available sizes range from a 4 ply 29x10.50-15LT up to a 38x12.50-16.5LT and 38.5-14.5LT in 10 ply ratings.

Super Swamper TSL/SX

The Super Swamper TSL/SX was designed for extremely tough off road conditions where sidewall strength and protection is needed to withstand the severe scuffing from running in ruts and snagging roots and rocks. This tire has a strong nylon or polyester bias ply body with dual belts under the tread and wrap-a-round lugs. The sidewall lugs not only protect the sidewall but also provide extra traction when climbing out of ruts.
