Default thornbirds? any one use them on a jk?
The title states it. How did they perform? (Mud, rock, street use). On a scale of 1 to 10 what would you rate it?

Junky tire that is relatively cheap, but looks cool. I've run with people who have them and was not impressed. Rating: 2/10 - gets 2 because of the look.

The side lugs are the only functional part of the tire, without them you wouldn't even move in mud.

Those tires are horrible in the mud. I would advise against them if you plan on getting them wet at all.

I had them on a YJ and I was not impressed! They wear quick and they weren't nearly as good in the mud as a traditional MT.

There is another thread on here about those tires. I am pretty sure they will come apart on the highway.
