Are Swamper SX\'s loud and rough on the highway?

Just wondering how obnoxious thay were as far as noise and vibrations go. Do they balance out OK?

Re: Are Swamper SX\'s loud and rough on the highway?

hehehe, i've got some TSLs, except for the side walls they're the same i've heard. they're loud on the road, at about 40mph my tires drown out my engine, they're rougher that radials and in the winter, if you haven't driven on em for a while they get flat spots and ride like a paint mixer until they warm up. haven't had a problem with em being unbalanced, i've heard that's the problem with tsl but they're still balanced after about a month and a half. but they're loud, and i love em! you really turn heads with them.

people that get good mileage aren't having any fun!

They are made of a harder ruber than the TSL and in turn will last longer and ride rougher and louder. They will also take more abuse off road but foks say they dont stick to rocks as good as nylon TSLs. I dont have the number on me but call info and ask for Interco in Rayne ,Louisiana. When you get the # ask for Wade and he will answer any questions about interco tires.

I hear the 38x14.50 SX's are hard to balance. I think these will be my next tire.
