Tornel bias ply traction/mud tires

Anyone have any pictures of these? My truck has 7.50-17 bias mud tires on it now and I'm thinking of buying a couple of these, but I would like to know how aggressive the tread is.

Re: Tornel bias ply traction/mud tires

Tell us about your truck. I'm guessing it's a K/20? I know of bias 7.50-17s in hiway tread if you're interested.

Re: Tornel bias ply traction/mud tires

It's a 2wd C30 SRW 9' step. I need an aggressive tire to (try to) not get stuck when I have to go off road, and the 7.50-17's fit the wheel wells nicely. A guy on another board had some of the Tornel's and they were real narrow, though; 5.5" at the tread. (Old ones being 7.5") I guess I'll go to a 16" tire when I kill these.
