i am at a loss of which tire to chose. i love the hum of a swamper tsl or bogger, but at the same time, i dont want a tire that is going to shake the fillings out of my teeth. any info on the ride quality of these three would be much appreciated. thanks yall.

What size r u thinking about? I have 30x10.5 Tsl radials on my 81 toy with about 32,000 on them, they ride decent for a mud tire, some flat spotting when the temp drops, but a great tire when it comes to mud and deep snow. I try to rotate them every 3,000 to 5,000 mi. there is about 1/4 tread left on them. They are loud enough to dround out my cheap radio, and they really make people turn their heads when driving by.

With BOGGERS you need power to turn them fast in the mud or you'll dig down,and reverse is not very good.THORNBIRDS+mud=STUCK(I've seen more stuck THORNBIRDS than any other tire!TSL and TSL RADIALS are a good tire for sand and mud. You can turn them slow and crawl or you spin'em fast and stay on top! And yes they are uni-directional, so you can back out when it gets too deep. In cold weather you will always have flat spots till the tires warm up, but thats the price you pay to play! I've owned 4 sets of 39.5 TSL's and 1 set of 39.5 BOGGERS. I didn't have the power or the wheel speed I needed to stay on top, BUT they pulled like a mule(Due to the paddles for tread) I HOPE THIS HELPS! Peace Out.

First question would be - what's the intended use, what do you wheel in ?
Never owned Thornbirds, but have heard nothing but bad about them.
I do own TSL radials and luv em, they work great in everthing but rain.

Thornbirds looks very agressive but I will agree they kinda suck in mud.. I was using the Truxus and got out of the mud but my buddy with Thornbirds had to get pulled.. So over all what is the best tire for non=clay type of mud that work for you guys?

thornbirds are an all terrain tire they suck ass. boggers are that bad of a ride if u balance them. TSL's will prolly be the best bet.
