Pretty sure this is going to be my next tire. Wanted some input on then found a decent price and really like the look of them. Any input is appreciated.

i ran em for about a year and a half. they balanced out pretty well, good in the slop. they aren't as loud as some M/T's but they aren't very smooth at low speed. they do wear pretty well and look killer though! i just got tired of an M/T and went to ATZ's

Running them currently. They ride pretty good once up to speed. Make your typical m/t noise and seem to wear pretty good.

I read somewhere online that guys were getting roughly 40k out of them. Anyone have any miles on their set? I've always loved interco and always had offroad/low mile street trucks back home in AK but here in CA need a tire that'll go 30k or so.

I've got them. Had them since June of 2010 and have probably close to 35,000 miles on them. They were quiet at first but are definitely getting louder lately. From what I understand most mts do that though. This is my first mud tire so i don't have a lot to compare with. Wear is pretty good with my mostly highway and slow turning habits. I bet I can squeeze another 10 to 15k miles out of them.

I don't know if I will re purchase tho. I may go with something tamer this go round just for the noise factor and maybe extra miles. The mileage so far has definitely been better than I expected, and the price was much lower than the toyos that were my other option. Another thing is they appear skinnier than other tires I'm assuming because of the tread pattern. Visually at least. They measure correct.

Good to hear! Any good pics for me? I've got a quote for 2299 for a set of 6 to my door for my dually and that's the best I could find them online....Not bad considering MTRs are back ordered forever and about 100-150 more and Toyos were a lot more. Plus I've always LOVED Swampers lol....it's not a total mall crawler truck since most of my work sites are offroad in the desert out here...and I like going exploring in the mountains. Considered another set of Duratracs but just love the M16s...if I can get that kinda mileage I'll be happy. What is your schedule for rotating them?

This didn't have anything to do with you getting rid of them?

BlueWaffle · Apr 9, 2012

nah...Interco took care of that one. plus i really wanted 13.5 wide

i think that cost me the show n shine though dammit lol. i do kinda miss how those tires looked though...

HOOV3R · Apr 9, 2012

These are the best pics I have. Probably 10k on them in the pics.

Damn.....but they do look good on that truck. I wish they made the TSL radial in my size....oh well....guess I'll stick to the M16s

semperfidooordie · Apr 9, 2012

Any word on how they actually perform offroad? I know I read a good write up in Four Wheel Drive mag....plus their zombie take on it sold me a little not gonna lie lol

Thanks they're 35 12.5s. I did notice some more sidewall flex over my old tires.

BlueWaffle · Apr 9, 2012

looks good hoovr!

TripleE44 · Apr 9, 2012

I'll take some pics in the morning so you can see about how much theyve worn. To be honest, they've been rotated 3 times when I think about it. I don't have a schedule really. I know I should and theyd last even longer but I'm kinda lazy and the tires and wheels are so heavy I dont wanna do it. As far as Offroad goes, tank would be the one to ask. I do not use mine but to crawl in the mall parking lot.

semperfidooordie · Apr 9, 2012

Those look good as 35s on 20s...should look awesome on my 17s in 35s too

I mean it's a CCLB DRW truck I don't expect to take her to Moab but as long as they do decent and good in the snow I'm happy with some decent tread life

HOOV3R · Apr 9, 2012

Thanks.. I'm pretty impressed with them offroad also. They clean out really fast and do surprisingly well in the mud considering they're on an 8000lb truck.

Lance I noticed your truck is about the twin of mine minus the flames and the lack of power I have. LOL

semperfidooordie · Apr 9, 2012

nice..not much mud around the desert out here.....but may need them to escape the zombies coming in a few months lol jk

HOOV3R · Apr 9, 2012

My bad, I didn't see where you were from my phone. All we have up here is mud and old strip job cuts, so i can't help you with the desert stuff.

semperfidooordie · Apr 9, 2012

It's all good man. Stationed out in 29 Palms (affectionately referred to by us Marines as 29 Stumps) it's a desert wasteland lol...but I do make a lot of trips to the mtns where there's mud..plus I am getting out in a few years and will be moving back east to OH for school then NC for NASCAR lol
