I saw this a few weeks ago while surfing the interco site, and just noticed it again on pirate. The first time I looked, there wasn't anything worthwile, but there sure is today. 40 inch iroks for $165, and holy ****, they have some 49s for 160 bucks :eek: My guess is they sell fast, so you have to check back from time to time. damn those 40s are sure tempting

damn, forgot the link

Surplus? Last time I checked uncle sam wasnt running swamper on humvees. These are physical blemish tires, ones that got ****ed up.

Not necessarily ****ed up. They only have cosmetic blemishes. The sidewall says "uper Swamper" or the size didn't get printed on the side for some reason. There's nothing truly wrong with them.

Wooo doggy!! I'm gone get me some of dem supa swampa's..... :rolleyes: That's alot of tires to be dicounting. I'd probably buy a set for my truck since they're wearing thin, but then again they aren't so street friendly. Those 13 trxus a/t's in 33x13.50x16's are tempting though.

there are a lot of guys running blems here in texas with no problems. There was a guy in elgin who was selling them for some okay prices, but no where as near as cheap as those tires. I have no problem running blems if it saves me 250-400 for a set of tires. As for the rims sizes, you don't see the 15s as much because they get bought up so quickly since there is a much bigger demand for 15s than the rest of those sizes. I'm personally thinking about getting a set of h1 wheels and recentering them since I always seem to be finding good deals on tires for a 16.5 wheel.

im pretty sure that the guy in elgin is who davido got his from...



as for you finding good deals on 16.5" tires....wait till you have 16.5's and then youll find good deals on 15" tires which would have worked with the wheels you just sold... :gigem:

I've just never been impressed by them. Granted I don't like boggers either.

Give me a tsl, sx, or irok any day

XSAM-33 TSL 15/35-16.5LT 27 $ 85.00

Why do I find myself wanting a new set of tires?

or these are bigger than most 37s.
XSAM-68 TSL SX 35x15.50-16.5LT 12 $105.00

Yeah, I was looking at those tsls. Thats a damned good price, and they seem to have alot of them. But you know the wierd part is that I can't say I have ever seen anyone running them, not even a mall crawler. Seems like it would be a somewhat popular size, at least in the 15 inch wheel version. Has anyone ever seen one in person, and how true are they to their marked size?

As for the sx, how big do those measure? You say they're bigger than alot of 37s?

I had a nearly slicked off set on a F-350 and they measured almost 36" and 15" wide, with about 2000 lbs sitting on each at max psi. New 35" BFGs were babies in comparison measuring 33.5 x 10.5" on the same truck and wheels.

interesting. A little wide for my taste, but still good to know. I wonder if the tsls are similar?

Look on Interco's main site. It has the exact dimensions at street pressure.

haha, yeah it has thier claimed heights, but with super swampers, what they claim and what the actual size is is often very different.

No... There is a chart with the exact dimensions. The "claimed" height is what is on the sidewall. They have the true dimensions listed so people can make measurements and find the correct tire.

I meant all swampers are blems as in most of the bigger swampers of the same size seem to come in a few different sizes. And eat me, My MTRs will still have half their tread left when your tires are bald...mainly b/c my cruiser doesn't move right now :flipoff2:

I think that link is dead. Last I checked they quit updating the page. I tried contacting them 3 different times through the email they gave, and never got a reply
