super swamper thornbirds - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've never driven them but I've also never heard anything good about Thornbirds. Ride Quality, Wear, etc.. Is this your daily driver you're putting these tires on? Are you looking for a cool look or is this a bogger and not a lot of street time.

I've got MT Baja Claw Radials on my 01 Z71 and they've been pretty friendly. Nothing like stockers but I like the look and ride

Might also look into BFG Mud Terrains and ALl Terrains

Its my daily driver but I dont put many miles on it. I will mainly be offroading on my grandmas land while shooting my AK

on the weekends, but it while be used mainly for street. The look is second to quality.

These tires come to mind for an off roader/mudder.

1. Goodyear MTRs
2. Super Swamper TSL
3. Super Swamper Iroks
4. Ground Hawgs
5. Baja Claws
6. BFGs

I'm running the TSLs but its mainly trail, but they ride fairly good on the hwy. I'd stay away from the Thornchickens.

Bringit; do you need to use a highway a lot travelling fast? Do you need it for driving on snow or ice? If the answers to either are yes you probably don't want a hardcore mud tire (ie. Boggers, maybe some types of Super Swampers etc.) There are "milder" mud tires available like BFG's MT, Goodyear MTR etc.
