Default Tire Question

Done shopping for my lift, now need some new shoes. I'm kind of on the fence between a set of TSL radials or, Maxxis makes the Buckshot Mudders. Has anyone ran either of these on the street or even at highway speeds? I know the TSL's are amazing in the woods but I'm on pavement more than dirt. Any info or opinions would be appreciated.

take a look at the Maxxis Bighorns or the Cooper STT's. personally u run the STT's and i wouldnt have it anyother way. i have over 20k on them now and they still have PLENTY of tread left. they also perform excellent in wet/rainy conditions.

tsl radials dont get you too great of a tire imo.

bias tsl's or dont bother.

here is a bighorn with 500 miles on it:



not saying its a bad tire, but this sidewall was slashed in less than difficult conditions.

million year old proven design that works well. the new bfg mud terrains look sick as well (the ones that look like a mini krawler)
