34" Interco Swamper questions

[incommando]

Well, I picked up some 34x10.5x15 Interco Super Swampers. I know that Interco only lists this size as a LTB, but these tires clearly say TSL on the side & do not have the LTB tread with the better sidewall lugs/protection. I was told elswhere that there used to be a 34x10.5 TSL but it was discontinued??

After checking into them, it appears that these are in fact the 34x10.5x15 LTB's and Interco covers that by putting in their spec list: **TREAD DESIGN MAY DIFFER BY SIZE**

Does anyone have any info on these tires? I won't be able to post pics until tomorrow.

The rims look like Outlaw II's, but are supposed to be used with lug nuts with shanks/washers where Outlaws II's are, IIRC, for conical seats. The only markings that I can find on the back of the rim are for the size, not the brand or anything. I seem to remember that the Outlaw II's are a fairly knocked-off rim. I don't want to dismount the tires ( as they are powder balanced ) to check for interior markings, so I guess I'll do the trail/error thing on lug nuts.

I'm happy with my purchase and the tires, although used, are used so little that the raised rubber "swamper" in the tread has not been worn away. I just wanna know just WTH I have....:D

They no longer make a 34in tsl, at least thats what my brother told me. He wanted some for his TJ.

[jeeping1974]

The 34x10.5 TSLs are no longer made. They stopped making them a while back. They do make a 34x9.5x15 and a 34x9x16 TSL though. The 34x10.5 is only being made in the LTB version.

IIRC there isn't a large void between the center lugs on the TSL like there is on the LTB.

The TSL had that disclaimer, not the LTB.

I don't have a pic of the TSL version, but they look like there is no space between the center lugs.

My sidewall pic did not come out, but it looks like the pic that Casey posted. Casey, is yours labeled "TSL" or "LTB"?

Here is a link to the LTB site:

The tread shown has a different sidewall than what I have or what Casey's pic shows.

This is a link to the TSL site, and shows what I have and what appears to be what Casey has, as well:

Well, my rim pic was not showing, so here is another version:

But yeah that looks like it.

What springs/etc... were you using on that truck? That sits very well.

[Casey]

The truck is gone, too.

It had stock springs, flat and broken. If you look closely you may be able to see the piece of flat stock welded to the cracked long leaf. :eek:

I knew it had gone down the pic, butI like how it sat. I am trying to figure out how to cure my wag sag without lifting it a bunch. From the looks of that truck, these tires should work out if I do not lift it.

[Stuka]

It should be noted most interco tires that have the three stage lug design will have TSL on the side (Such as Boggers).

Oh, and 33" TSL's measure the same 33.7" tall as 34" LTB's, only they are 12.50 wide instead of 10.50 wide.
