Well I was just wondering what everyone would pay for these. 33×12.5×15 super swamper tsl thornbirds. 85% tread. A little dry rot. Not bad. Let me know!

i wouldn't buy them. they are only good on sand.

i know when they get dry rot, they really get dry rot...

but if you really had to, i'd say no more than about 250, maybe 300 if the rot is minimal.

Future

I'm getting them for $200

mr white

Buy them.

Jmo, but you're better off with what you've got already. Thornturds are horrible in the sand also, they look good and do great in muddy ruts that's the only thing they have going for them.

They are known as Thornturds for a reason I would Never Own a set of them unless I would building an H2 for car shows

That's a good price. Yeah people will trash talk them. People that I've talked to that has them has had good and bad things to say about them.

Hot knife em there savage in mud. Lol

mr white

You can't really beat $200 for a set of large tires like that. Buy them. Run them. If you don't like them sell them for $600.

I started this video off here for a reason, so you can see why Thornbirds suck. (if it's not there, skip to 1:48)


The tire relies on the the sidewall lugs to pull you through, because the tread just turns into big gooey ***** of mud. They don't void worth a crap and your XJ will never have enough wheel spin to even attempt to void them. They're an over glorified AT and heavy ones to boot, 33's weigh in at 68 lbs a piece. Even if you never plan on off roading, they have bad road manners. They have a tendency to hydroplane in the rain and come winter you're going to wish you had your Duratracs back. And to answer your question, I wouldn't spend a dollar on them. Simply put, I'd continue to save till something worth buying came along.

Seems like a good deal still , maybe groove them?

caged

yeah 200 is pretty decent.

give it a shot. you may like em, you may not.

but i'd groove them with a very wide groover. get some lugs in there.

if you don't like em, maybe you can trade em for a set of tsl's.

The set I had way back when I grooved and they were slightly better than an all terrain tire. Do Not drive on wet roads with them unless you like doing body work and driving in ditches.

Future

Not getting them

Some guy down the street from me has them on a cj. I can hear his tires a mile away.
