Yes Ive come to the conclusion between the regular 35' tsl or the tsl/sx 35' for my 1986 ford f150 w/ 6 lift. I dont use it as a DD, but I do drive around sometimes to show off my truck and then from land to off-road. Money is no option right now. I have a set of thornberds on 15 rims right now, and they are horrible. I dont do much rock climbing as of yet, seeing how im just getting into the sport. Please let me knows everybody's feedback.

SX's have better traction. if it is a trail rig and money is not an option, it seems like an easy choice to me.

sx's or cut boggers. I ran my truck for the first time since the swap today and people STAR at those fucking boggers. Plus the traction they get on muddy/rocky trails is unbelievable

36" sx's best all around tire you can buy. If my truck wasn't a DD I'd be running them right now. When I can save up some $$$ for a cheap car for dd I'll be running 36" sx's, either that or 38's.

I would run the TSL's before I ran the SX's. I would also run the boggers before the SX's. Out of all three I would run the TSL's.

TSL radials! get your moneys worth. they only come in 36's not 35's

SX if you plan on going this route. They do great on the trails. Boggers though if you go mudding alot.

They make a 35" tsl, it's just wide.

36 12.50/15 tsl - $172

36 12.50/15 sx - $212

36 12.50/15 tsl radial - $194 (these are gay in 12.5" width)

36 14.50/15 tsl radial - $261 (much better tread pattern
then the 12.5" width radials)

37" bogger - $228

Don't go with the radial unless it's the 14.50's, I'd stick with the bias ply's. Any of the tires above (except the 12.50 radials) is a great tire.

Q78's are a little narrow and not quite as tall as the 36's for his application, but I love them on jeeps and toyotas! The cool thing about the Q78's too is that they seem to have some deep lugs.

TSL Radials really hopped on the rocks... I wouldn't run radials I didn't like them at all. I LOVED my TSL SXs, drove them on my daily driver for 2 years until the fronts were at 25% then I stepped up to a 40" MTR... after 2 years of SXs on the roads the rears still had 75% tread.

I balanced them wtih Golf Balls on Hummer rims and the SXs road fine up to 85mph for me... Great tire!

I would go SX over TSL, and then TSL, and then TSL Radial (I advaise against a radial TSL though).
