TSL vs LTB rubber compound? New 40" size!

[Ned Kelly]

Does anyone know how TSL vs LTB compare on the durometer ratings? I"m curious how much longer a more expensive TSL would potentially last over the cheaper (but not substantially) LTB under the same driving conditions.

I also saw on the Interco site the LTB is to be offered in 16/40-16 and 17 rim come Feb 2008.
Only in 6 ply though, too bad you can't get a 10 ply. A 12.50/35 (with 10 ply availability for our heavier trucks) is slated for release around the same time.

Also for a 15" rim from what I see...and I'm also interested if the rubber is any harder or softer.

Fwiw, there will also be some new 42" SX's out this spring/summer.

A 39.5-40" SX would be good. The Interco site did not mention anything upcoming 42" in the SX tire line. How sure are you of this?

I first saw it here - http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=650452

I realize there has been a ton of speculation on this for a while, the thing that caught my attention was the confirmation post from Dan Dibble. I've known Dan for a loooong time and he has very good ties with Interco, if he says it's coming you can bank on it.

I'll follow that thread. Thanks for the link. So many choices is good.

I see Interco's website has now changed the new LTB's coming out from Feb to April.
