Default New tire on the market

Anyone seen the new Interco (super swampers) tire? Looks pretty nice. I'm considering them.

I thought they were going to be Vor Tracks. I like the tread, but the 223 rounds on the sidewall dont do anything for me. If you get them, I will be curious to hear how you like them.

Interesting...kind of looks like a cross between a Thornturd and Bogger.

I ran TSL/SX's on my old YJ. Excellent off road. Pain in the a$$ on road. They were glass belts, so they flat spotted when cold. Also very hard to balance. It would have taken a ridiculous amount of tire weights. I ended up using wheel balancing sand packs, (like the big rig truckers use). I'm going back to BFG/MT on my JK

I really like these I can't wait for them to release more sizes. Honestly I can't find where you can buy them at all.

Ha! Now I do too.

It might be good for the rocks, but the voids don't look big enough for East Coast Mud.

I kinda like it. Looks like they would work well on rocks (think moab), and be decent on the road....looks a bit "smoother" than say a mud grapler or DC Crusher.....someone will have to be a guinea pig. Ill see if I can find some locally.
