Super Swamper 38 12.50 16.5 $785 shipped

I think I found a deal on these on the internet. I have looked for a while and this is the best I can find. Any one found them cheaper?

I didnt realize that I didnt put the kind on the post. Sorry. They are the bias ply TSL's.

I guess the truck will be some of both. I am building it for a hunting rig but I may drive it every day for a while, at least long enough to work out all the bugs.

Here is a link to pics of the truck that they will be going on.

Definitely a good find.

Will this be your first set of large bias-ply tires on a daily driver?
How much lift and/or cutting are you looking at doing?
Steering mods planned?

Should look sweet when you get it done.

I have run several sets of the old buckshot co-ops in the past. I dont plan on this being a daily driver for long, just long enough to get to know the truck and find all the bugs. The truck has a 6" lift, fenders cut and flares installed so I should be able to run them as is. I hope to do a crossover steering job in the near future. This truck wont see any hard core wheeling. I mostly need a tall truck to access some property I own. The water gets pretty deep during the winter. Most of the roads a decent but there is about a mile of deep mud I have to cross to get to my place. I just need to be able to ease in and out during hunting season.

Thats a killer deal, if thats the style of tire you want. Make sure you dont get surprised by a surcharge on the shipping. I know its says "shipped" but double check because I think theres a special surcharge on shipping tires.

I just sold the exact same set, brand new over the counter for $800. Last year a big auto parts jobber parted ways with interco tire and sold off its inventory at 1/2 price. A lot of us parts stores bought up what we could at that deal, but now they're all gone.

If I remember right, those tires go regularly for up to $350 each!

I bought a set of SS TSL 35x15.6x16.5 blems directly from Interco. Can't remember the cost but it was close to 100.00 ea. You just have to watch their site closely. Alot of tire companies sell their blemish tires and warrant them. I looked close at these tires and found one lug on one tire the was shorter than the other lugs. Here is Interco site and look for blemish tires. Hope this helps.
