what do you guys think about those 2 tires? I'm looking at some 36x12.50 radial TSL's or maybe some 37x12.50 radial MT TrXus. From what I gathered... the TSL is a more aggressive mud tire with a bit more tread depth and no siping. Where as the trxus is not as aggressive but has shallower treads and siping. Any inputs on either tire?
 
We had 31x9.5x15 radial swampers on a Ferd bronco II buggy I built for my kids. They did quite good all around in rocks,mud, and on the street. They where siped by the local tire shop though so that helped. I used to drive that rig to work once in a while, no doors, no hatch,pickup chop top, camo paint!!!! Good all around tire not to loud and a nice foot print at 10psi.
 
truxus will be better on road, tsl's will be better offroad. which does it see more?
 
depends on what kinda wheeling your doing. i have radial swampers on my truck and my dad has trxus mt's on his.

trail ridding: either
deep snow: swamper
pavement: trxus
snow pack: trxus
mud: either (don't have much here, so both did well)
sand: havn't tried the trxus in sand, aired down swamper did great.
rocks: either
 
I have "E" rated 33" trxus m/t's on my k30. I like the traction on wet/snow conditions. Not bad offroad either (nothing serious). The problem I have is vibes at 70 mph, there's about 10 oz. of weight on each wheel to ballance them. I think next time I'll get SSR's or TSL radials. I've had better luck with those tires in the past.
 
Ive had 35 inch trxus and I just got 37's. I was amazed at the differences between the same kind of tire in a different size. The new 37's have way deeper lugs than the 35's did for some reason. They are amazing on snow and ice, which is why I stuck with them. They actually do better in mud than I thought if you keep em cleaned out. My favorite thing about them is they are 10 ply and load range E which makes them reallly tough and I can still haul anything with my truck that I want which is something I need that others might not. On the highway they are wonderful, they make almost no noise and ive never had any balancing problems after having 2 sets. For a daily driver that sees some snow and mud occasionally they are perfect. If you see a lot of mud and not much highway driving get the TSL's.
