Anyone have any experience with Swamper thornbirds?
 I've yet to drive a vehicle with them. I'm drawn by the look but want o
make an educated choice. I've had both BFG's (A/T & M/T), Swamper's, Dick
cepek's. So i've narrowed it down to the Mickey thompson's or the Swamper
TSL radials or Thornbirds. Any opinions?
