Find someone that knows how to use a tire knife and make those tires worthwhile other than a drag slick.

Only way they are decent in the mud is if you groove them. BTW they are called Thornbirds, it's written on the sidewall.

They are the worst tires ever! I wouldn't have a set on any thing I own. Unless you have about a thousand hp to clean them out they just glaze over in the mud and they aren't self cleaning. They look cool and thats it! Ive pulled out countless larger rigs with this crappy tire on them.

Oh and they are just as loud as a bogger and in the rain you can't steer.

The center is where you have to groove them. The side lugs are the ONLY good thing on those tires.

Nothing wrong with keeping them around as spares though.
