TRXUS tires

[CRWilliams]

Has anyone tried the new Super Swamper TRXUS tires yet. They look pretty good, and I just noticed the 285/75R16's are 10 ply rated. Anyone with any experience with any Super Swampers before, how are they for ride, out of round, things like that? Any input would be appreciated.

Swampers

At least one or two people have posted (positively, I think) on Trxus tires before, so you might want to do a search.



I have 36" Swamper TSL Radials on my CTD and had TSL-SX tires on my old Cherokee. Swampers can be great or miserable, depending on what you want in a tire. If you want to be able to go places off road, particularly in mud, I personally think Swampers are as good as it gets. And they look good, too. The catch (and there's always a catch, isn't there?) is that Swampers generally are very noisy, wear quickly, and handle relatively poorly on the road. If those things matter to you, you're probably better off with a less aggressive tire like a BFG AT. Even most other MTs will probably be a little more friendly on road than most Swampers. I gather the TRXUS tires are a little less aggressive than the other Swampers, so maybe the above issues won't apply so much.



If you do go with Swampers, be sure to get the 10-ply rated tires. My radials are 6-ply (that was all that was available when I bought them). they are rated at 2600 lbs per tire, which is really marginal, and I can feel the sidewalls flex when I drive. As soon as these wear out (which will be quick), I will replace them with the 10-ply version.



Good luck!

I have the 285's 10 ply and I like them I have over 15,000 miles and still less then half worn.

Hope this helps
