Howdy... lookin to see if anyone has experience with the Interco Thornbird or SSR tires on a daily driver. I'm tryin to look ahead simply because I don't really know what I want. Any input or other suggestions are appreciated.

If you get Thornturds you cant hang out with us anymore :flipoff2:
SSR's would okay on a DD. I had 36" TSL radials on my DD for a couple years and besides being noisy and not stopping on wet roads very well, they were great.
I live and die by the BFG All-Terrain, but I agree with Sharpe, don't get Thornbirds.
I'm also against thornbirds
i compare thornbirds to whale wars, its awesome to watch a complete fail.
because of their street manners and they're supposed to be pretty decent offroad.
KOs??? I know they're a good tire for a daily driver because of their street manners and they're supposed to be pretty decent off road but why's that your first choice just out of curiosity?Quote:

Check out offroaders.com, they have some good tire reviews on there. Also, ask Matt (nealthedestroyer) he's running SSRs on his wrangler. The first thing you need to do is find out what you need or want out of a tire. It makes things a lot easier when you start looking around.Quote:

Thornbirds guy FTW
Check out the super swamper irok Radial. I have 37's on a bronco, I do not drive it everyday, but I have been super happy with them. They are the quietest smoothest riding swamper I have ever had, or ridden in. I've got about 1500-2000 miles on them and they still look like new.
What vehicle are you wanting to put them on? If you put alot of miles on it I would go with a bfg at or mt.
2nd this, as well as the ssr, but for an all-terrain tires u cant beat the bfgQuote:
