Bad ide, bad in mud, noisy...

THey wear OK for a swamper but they are not for offroad at all. I prefer my A/T's to a Thornbird.

I love my Thornbirds ... On road, off road, wherever! A "little" slippery on wet pavement, but who cares. I dint buy the tires to be quiet or to get good gas mileage. Thats what the motorcycle is for.

Looking forward to seeing those pics Bigdawg!

I'm going with Mickey Thompson 305-70-16 Baja Claw radials. Believe this if you will, Fender Tire near Asheville, N.C. sells this size for $161.00 each plus tax. This includes mounting and balancing. The best deal I've found on the internet is at Desert Rat and Tyres International. They're both about 175 each plus almost $100 for shipping and I'd still have to get them balanced and mounted. I've never had a set of these, but with this deal I believe I'll try 'em. A friend of mine had a set of Thornbirds on his '78 Jeep and loved 'em. Another friend had a set on an F-250 and hated them, ending up selling them. To each their own. 4wDakota's turd thing was so funny, I had to print the picture.
