Hey i am running 32" bfg MTs and i was wwondering how well would some 33x12/.5 tsl's work out on 15x8 rims? my current tires are 11.50 wide. Also, how are TSLs on rocks and pavement? Obviously theyre great in mud...

He wanted to know how they would work. He wasn't concerned that he would get 4MPG with them just if they would work. Wake up Jason.

And realistically... going from a 32X11.5 to a 33x12.5 isn't going to make a significant difference...Unless the wheel he uses is significantly heavier than his current one.
Yes, a TSL has a good deal of rotating mass to it. But if he runs the radials, he wont notice a big difference in it on the road...

I ran 33x12.50's, bias ply's. Great tire in all trail conditions, Road, so, so. If you get the bias, you will get flat spots over night, and have thumping until the tire warms up, usually a few miles down the road.
From what I hear if you are planning on running on the road as a DD I would advise against the TSL's, do yourself a favor and go with something a bit more road friendly.

Yea my originaly plan was 33x12.50 bfg ATs, i was just thikning about TSLs for hte price and ive heard from some about them lasting a while. My friend just got some in 32x10.50 and i drove his jeep and he had a lift put on at the same time and it rode fine to me, maybe even smoother than mine. Idk i think ill still go for the bfg ATs

bighorns and trxus MTs are like 150 range. but i thikn STTs are in the range of goodyear MTRs, so why not just get MTRs if im spending that much haah

I personally have always had bad luck with Goodyear and Firestone. I would run a no name tire before I would run either one of those brands, but that is just my experience. The next guy mey love his Goodyears or Firerocks. Just not me.
