I voted Irok's because they are light, cheap, and I have seen them work well. They also come in the size you want. If I didnt get the deals I get from Maxxis, I would have Iroks.

Because the LTB does not come in a 42 for a 16.5. If it did I would have it on the list.

I would run the SX as I like the sidewall tread but I am not holding my breath until I see them with pricing (Dibbles Pics do not count as seeing them). Also there is not one for a 16.5 mentioned only 17s and up so far.
Everywhere I have looked Iroks are about $20 more per tire than the TSL, so in my book they are the same price. It is not a big enough break for price to be a big factor yet.

I just made the switch from 39.5 TSL's to 42 Iroks with recentered H! wheels. I don't have enough time on the Irocks to really compare but they seem to grip and climb a bit better maybe due to more smaller lugs that have a chance to grip. I was a little concerned about tread depth as well from pictures I had seen, but after seeing them in person there is alot of tread. Also the guy who had them before me grooved the center lugs. He grooved them because he said in stock form they did not conform well on his light weight buggy. I was always a TSl fan but the Iroks have worked well so far.
Here is a pic of how mine are grooved.

hmm about the sidewall, tread-ripping thing....you know if you get tires through 4wheel parts they offer a warrantry for a few bucks that will replace the tire (pro-rated of course) for ANY reason.....my be helpful if you are around a 4wheel parts center so you dont pay shipping....just a thought....personally, i think my next set of tires will be IROKS...i have 44" TSL's now....unless they come out with my size LTB as posted earlier...
