I bet those ride nice on the highway. :dontknow:

He drives a Jeep with soft top, I don't think he's too concerned about a little extra noise and or rough ride.

I wonder how well they'll do in the snow? I usually look for a tire with more sipes to get better grip on the slippery stuff....

The typical 6-inch play in Jeed steering wheels coupled with those tires will be fun. You could do Shake-Weight style workouts with the wheel, and it'll still go straight. Or weave back and forth, whatever it wants, which it will do, anyway.

Common now, that's not fair!





Jeeps come with 3" of play, the 6" is optional...

The swamper TSL's do awesome in the snow...you can wind them up and rooster tail slush patties all over :snow: not the greatest on ice but not terrible if aired down a little. The radial version is better for ice and has some extra siping that the bias plys don't...but they're no Blizzaks.

I'm definitely down for a Monday morning MTB ride. I haven't been riding much, my speed and endurance have really suffered. Need to get more rides in!
