Default Thornbirds...

I would like to know if anyone has any experience with the Interco Thornbirds. To me, they look entirely badass...like they would eat small children...but I never see them on anything. Nor have I spoken to someone that has experience with them. So, has anyone used them? Is the reason I never hear about them because they are a horrible tire? I love the look.

Here is a pic....

they ar eheavy and loud and i loved them on 3 of my trucks but they arent that great in the mud unless you keep them spinning fast to clean them out and they are great in the sand but stay out of packed snow and rain lol but ovel all i think every tire has its flaws and as long as you like thme go for it
