A DOG Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I think they make a 28x9.5x14 maybe even 27x9.5x14. That would be sweet to have wider tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 http://www.intercotire.com/site33.php hrm doesnt like they do, i like the wider tires to, but the narrow tires sure do cut down into muck.. o ya, the ssr's are 27x9.50's but, im going with tsl's. like the ones jibs has.

Numbchux Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 well, it is a matter of driver preferance, and conditions, but for the most part, especiallly in the case of subarus, wider tires are a bad thing. mostly just more stuff to push around....my vote would be what you're getting... also...did you get different rims? I thought you were running 15" alloys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyB0y Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Don't quote me, but I have been told that the TSL's are tougher than the SSR's too, so if you do the TSL's and have them balance them with the equal powder instead of lead weights, I think you will be happiest ... I only let them use the powder now that I have tried it ... it's really great, no problem with flat spots un-ballancing the tire either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
operose Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 gonna get 'em siped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrap487 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 yeah... bias tsls are strong than the ssrs... personally I'm gonna go with the LTBs :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 gonna get 'em siped? I've heard great things about this, improves traction in virtually every condition, and helps reduce heat, and therefore wear, on road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
operose Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I've heard great things about this, improves traction in virtually every condition, and helps reduce heat, and therefore wear, on road that's what I heard too.... and it makes sense if I think about the snow tires I have on my xt6... it's like they ARE super swampers or mud tires of some type.. except the thick lugs are slit into a bunch of "flaps" hanging off the tire... hard to describe, but it seems like it would be hard to beat traction wise (I wouldn't go nearly as deep with the slits in the lugs as my snow tires though, as that would probably INCREASE wear on pavement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in Bellingham Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 check out this thread http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43264&highlight=super+swamper I went with the 27 x 9.50 SSRs they are really nice on the road nice Humm, they go anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were running 15" alloys? ya, i have a spare set of 14 inch pugs in my garadge ima use. one of the main things i wanted tsl's for, is price. 85ish dollars a tire is a great price. since i will still have my all terrains, i'll swap back and forth every once and a while, to make them last a little longer. Should i get them siped? i figured i would? but i've heard it can rip little pieces of the tire out.. i like the ssr's to scott,but i think im going to go with tsl's, cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Its true that little chunks will some times leave your tires if you get them siped, but the advantages, in rain, ice and slick rock far outweigh the little bit of chunking. I've siped mine, and i've never regretted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 yeah... bias tsls are strong than the ssrs... personally I'm gonna go with the LTBs :-) LTB's look really sick! but smallest size is 31's. how u gona fit them? t-cased and bigger lift?? but anyway, i think i will get them siped then noah, probably not the second after i get them, but real quick like.

scrap487 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 31s will fit easy i have the right rims for them, only tool you need is a bfh, and actually I think my school has one of those air hammers if you have been following the build of my subaru, the tires I have on there now are 31x10.50, 31x11.50 swampers WILL fit with the use of a hammer. there wont be any issue of it rubbing on the strut. also as far as gearing goes, is a 4 speed d/r, and i've driven my soob around a little bit, and I havent had any problems. I dont think the 31x11.50 will rub on the struts, but if they do my wheel studs are long enough I can safely put a big enough spacer in there to take care of the problem. btw, 108$ for a 31x11.50x15 LTB sure beats 143$ for a 30x10.50x15 tsl. if I need to do more work to make it fit, its worth the saved money for me.

soobmater Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Does any1 actually have a pic of a ea82 body with the 28 inch tsl's?? i guess they look really similar to the ssr's but i wana see the tsl's since they are skinnier and stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 they won't look almost at all different.... look around, SJR, Noah, Tex, and Roundeye have 'em, just to name a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soobmater Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 i know what it stands for, lol i used to be a tire freak. Three Stage Lug's. are the 28 inch Tsl's a lil bigger than the ssr's?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenTBK Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Anybody checked out the TSL/SX line? I'm still interested in the 31x1350s. Be especially nifty for the conditions around me.. sugar sand up to your knees. Theres also 30x1150s in that line. Smaller overall diameter, but got that extra width to float. Since I'm a cheap bastard, this would probably be the route I take when I get the money moving again to upgrade. 172.99 and 111.99 respectively, at 4wpw.
