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.

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.
