what are these going on?

[JEEPSERIOUS]

@jairbear002 check out my other vids

[marcyorbust]

all the groovin and only one beer can im calling bullshit



[JEEPSERIOUS]

@marcyorbust ha ha, thats call efficient. kidding aside it's not a long process

[ArkansasMudder725]

i have 44 super swampers tsl thats on my ride and i drive it everyday i just put 50lbs of air in them and they dont road walk hardly. its just basically up to u if u want to have them or not.

[staytruestayfit]

how does that help?

[megaprovirus]

и нахуя это нада?

[elitecssplayer]

would you recomend these tires for everyday, some off roading like climbing hills and stuff? are these good for that?

I have 33x12.50 r15 General Grabbers and want to downsize to 31x10.50 r15 Interco Super Swamper TSL's. I like to drive everyday to school and back and sometimes go 4x4ing up hills and trough trails, not much mud around here. Are these a good pick?

[JEEPSERIOUS]

@elitecssplayer no, the tires you see in the vid are bias ply, can not be balanced, loud and just not good for daily driving. if you want a similar tire that looks good and works on the street and offroad interco has the same tire in a radial and other wicked radial tires. radial tires can be balanced, are not loud and provide a smooth ride

[HEADBANGBALLER]

@elitecssplayer Good Lord, these would sound like a pack of wolves howling at the moon if you took these on dry pavement at highway speeds!

[link4899]

those arent tsl's tsl's have treads going sideways from the edge to the center

[JEEPSERIOUS]

@link4899 i know what i have and they are tsl super swampers. tsl stands for three stage lug, interco has many tires with the tsl design, like tsl bogger, tsl sx and tsl thornbird. the bogger is the one that has tread from center to outside edge.

[1987cuzzie]

thats a tsl

[2strokequad]

Why? Why? Why!?

[JEEPSERIOUS]

@2strokequad more forward and reverse bitting edges, tire is more flexible in center, because i can

[JEEPSERIOUS]

@98zjjeep thanks, do not have the TJ anymore, check out my other vid, /watch?v=4ZF395gg18c

[theSkavenger84]

You should have piled up all the beer you consumed during the whole groove session lol

[wrt7]

How much you think all that rubber weighs?

[JEEPSERIOUS]

@wrt7 i dont know, never weighed the pile, not very much a few pounds maybe 4? it filled a 4 pack tropicana box packed full. thanks later

[bikerD15]

you should slap those on an extra set of rims, and put them on when you get to your off roading destination. That way they last longer and won't wear down on the street.

[JEEPSERIOUS]

@bikerD15 your right about onroad tire wear but, then i would have to get another set of rims and tires, mount a hitch on my rig which would take up ground clerance, purchase a trailer and haul it where i go and leave it at the start of the trail and maybe get stolen along with the new rims and tires. then would have to change tires twice per trip. not very appealing

[bikerD15]

@JEEPSERIOUS Then how bout put them on at home before you head out. Or put them in a roof basket.

[JEEPSERIOUS]

@bikerD15 It's not a daily driver, and 4 tires and rims on a roof rack would seriously increase the CG height, thanks

[borrowedparts]

i definitely would have left a half inch not grooved on the outside of the outer lugs, that makes them chunk off alot easier to take them all the way, but by leaving that half inch, you dont lose the structure of the lug but gain the biting edge in the new cut

[JEEPSERIOUS]

@borrowedparts yup your right, i guess that's the price you pay to get that last bit of traction, thanks

[chevboy119]

looks kool dude



[yodantheman25]

man that made me laugh the pic with the two piles of the rubber u cut of then the can of beer in the middle

[mattcb750]

nice job, look almost new again

[slashbasher96]

dont go through the outside lugs like that start in a little

[TheRob916]

looks better than the other jobs I seen on youtube... good job

[crazeejay2006]

Very nice work!!

[siTTinLo420]

nice work,!!! that tire groover you got works awesome huh? i bet those tires are at least 100 percent better now in mud,,,

[SnowYota22r]

kokanee in a can eh? nice!!

[1badcj8]

Notching the middle lugs for sure helps traction it the rocks. Buuuut I would NOT notch them on the out side, they chunk BAD. This is from experiance, not guess work...

[JEEPSERIOUS]

yup, more chance at chunking, i kept the cut on the side lugs shallow and narrow to reduce that chance

[sirus06]

This is more for rock crawlers for more tire grip on rocks and to contour over the surface of the rock better usually running around 10-15 lbs of tire pressure with bead lockers to allow better tire flex while these will still work for mud i wouldn't suggest it only cause you stand a chance of tearing you tires to shreds great tire grooving and nice groove gun keep up the great vids.

[JEEPSERIOUS]

to each his or her own opinion but i think you would have a greater chance of tearing up a tire in the rocks than the mud, thanks for the comment

[JEEPSERIOUS]

yes, more biting edges

[youngron707]

more flex of the tire too huh?

does this theory weaken the toughness of the larger lugs?

[JEEPSERIOUS]

yes, the tire should be a little more flexy with the center lugs cut. as for the strength of the outer lugs, there is still alot of meat there but more likely to have a chunk tear off.

[budnixon]

I am guessing for better traction? Seems like a good idea...
