i'm suprised how they're wearing.  not bad on the road at all either, just don't slam on the brakes *too* hard on wet pavement :laugh: it's been over 5000 miles and i still have "swamper" on the face of the outer lugs, and can see some of the flashing left on them as well from the molds :beerchug:

the truxis sucks as a tire. the mtr is the best out of the two but when i get some dd tires im going with the procomp muds. the are very good on road and work well off road. If i had to chose between the tsl and the mtr for both on and off road but mostly on road. i would go with the mtr. I have gotten a lot of feed back on most off road tires and the mtr is one of the best.

To The Floor

MT/R's are the best off and on road tire from what I have heard, and people I've talked to that have experience with them.  I've heard not even considering their excellent on road performance for a off road tire, they are one of the best off road tires out there.  Not to mention, in my opinion they are the sickest looking tire out there.
in the projects nooga, anything goes

i hated the sx's on the road, death wobble, flat spotting....

I think the bogger is the best looking tire

You didn't keep the beadlocks dirtyskivies?  those looked better then the chrome ones you have now.

I went witht he 33' 12.50 Mtr's, Heard nothing but good stuff about them, there reasonably quiet and wear quiete nicely compared to most other off road tires. And they look awesome too. my  :twocents:

It depends on where you usually play...What type of terrain does you toy get used in,and how often?...The MTRs are good tires,they're made from a stickier compound,so they stick to the rocks a little better,and they're good on hard dirt trails as well,,but I know that on mud,they don't do as well.They tend to fill up quick,and as CR said,become racing slicks.Havent heard too much about sand,however,they do wear real good on the street.So if you have a vehicle that gets driven on the street everyday,and gets driven to the trails,I'd go with those.

Well lets see..  I have been running 36 TSL by-bly swampers now for 5 years.
My first set still had 40% on them after driving them every day for over 3 years daily driving with them Being Syped (BAD SPELLING) and being balanced well..  Then I bought a new set that I haven't had that long and don't drive daily anymore and they suck ass...
I think now I am going to buy the 37 MTRs I am sick of the Ping pong ball driving.. LOL   :smack:
