TSL radials are a pretty good tire for a truck that sees highway and off road, but not a lot of miles. i vote them. best mud tire is easily the bogger though.

Out of those choices, doing some road driving, go with the TSL Radials. They will do fine offroad and give you the best road performance.

Dito

I have TSL SX's on my Bronco, and Bias Ply tire suck. If they sit in one spot for a long time, they become flat spotted. I've got almost one pound of tape weight on the rear wheel. If I had have known the kid who was balancing it was doing that, I would have told him to just screw it. I don't know what he was thinking! Idiot!

BFG's will be the longest lasting. My Bronco is my trailer queen, so I don't care if they're flat spotted. It's not seeing the hwy.

I love my TSL bias but they SUCK on the road, loud rough riding. but they are great off road in mixed conditions from mud to rocks and snow and ice. I like them and will probably put another set on once these are shot

so tsl radials compared to bfg mts who thinks the tsl are better or vice versa... i can get a set of 33x10.5r15s for 604.00 bfgs would cost me close to 780.oo better bang for buck i would say i know the bfgs would last longer but i dont want to pay almost 200 more.

tsl radials have never impressed me

tsl's same
i had some 36's and they were all sorts of oval shaped, didnt like to stick to much offroad and blew beads like a kid eating candy

boggers are also quite oval shaped

i had one that was 63 ounces out of balance, i think that tire got airborne at speed it was so bad. not my cup o tea offroad either. they would crabwalk often and don't stick to smooth rock

i've had the tsl sx's on a tacoma while i was in the marines at camp lejeune and i loved how they performed and how side walls bit on the sandy tank trails, however if it's your DD you'll likely be replaceing your tires in a year. the BFG's will by and far outlast the soft rubber in the swampers and are pretty decent on and off road too! hope that helps in your decision...
