BTW - That link above is a pretty sweet site for quickly accessing tire reviews.

Re: What do you guys think of this tire?
everything I have heard about them is positive. Very sticky on the trail, very tough on the trail, but loud on the pavement and difficult to balance correctly. But really those are the same complaints I hear about every large aggresive tire over 33 inches...
Going with the less aggresive mudder from Super Swamper myself, the Trxxus mudder that Shaggy runs. Good all around tire for the winters out here and great on the trails and in the mudd....

They have some pretty nasty reviews.

I watched him walk Spring Creek with them, he has run Carnage Boulder a couple times, and various other moderate trails and the tires are not chunking, the are balancing good, and they are performing well.
He is on his second set of these, and both sets have performed flawlessly. I wanted them bad but the didn't make them in a 32 inch tire...
Everyone I've met in real life (not over the internet) that has owned those tires has had positive feedback on them. They come siped from the factory which is a plus out here (IMO) in Colorado and I have seen that they kick some ass out on the trails.
I'd be interested to see what Shaggy had to say about them........
hopefully he wouldn't blame his lack of wheeling skills or vehicle he's driving sway his outlook on the tire itself.........

Re: What do you guys think of this tire?
whats funny is a lot of those reviews are talking about them being ****ty in Mudd..........and I watched them perform like magic a couple times in mudd, one time up at SH Gultch.
The tire DID NOT GUM UP WITH MUDD and it performed awesome......better than my BFG MT's did for sure.
...........and I'm a fan of the BFG tires who has no reason to talk these up for any personal satisfaction. I have just seen them kick some ass and hold up well in person, mucho times... 
a little note about them being terrible on the street...........Almost every person I've seen that wheels them uses their rig for a daily driver and have been very happy. Lots of people buy them to look cool and want the ride of a ****ing Michelin street tire.............IMO

Good Info, Moonie. Actually, I could care less about the mud performance of any tire. I have always hated, and will continue to hate, mud wheeling. I care about rocks and colorado type trails.
I'm still trying to figure out if the SSR TSL is really a good wheeling tire or not.

I think they're black and knobby.
