Default interco Thornbirds?

These tires sure look good. Does anyone have any first hand experience with them? I would be using them on pavement, rocks, snow, mud, sand (in that order).

I have been leading toward Toyo MTs (35x12.5-16). But these caught my eye.

They SUCK. I wouldn't run them if they were free. They do look cool, but they are worthless off road in my opinion. Come to think of it, they're worthless on the road as well...

I have to agree they SUCK and yes i own a set of them. They do not do good in anything and wear down faster than i would have thought.

If your in Florida you can check these out stick them on yours and see.

I love Interco tires but thornbird are good to look at but i really do not like how they do in anything that i have tried.


I ran superswaper tsl radials and liked them better on and aoff the road

I remember hearing bad things about them about 10 years ago when I was shopping for tires for my TJ. The things I read were bad enough for me to remember this long. I've never used them, but with that much advice I won't try them. I ended up with Super Swamper TSL radials and loved them.
