Yes! I was amazed at how poorly a friends brand new TurdBirds performed next to a set of 50% gone TSLs or my new LTBs.

thornbirds are made to look mean, but they are trash. My AT's outperform thornbirds

you should consider Dick Cepek Mud Countrys, they perform pretty well.

Every single tire mention prior is a bias ply tough trail tire. Where did that come from?

Thornturds are junk...period! Like stated above, they are made to "look" mean, but they are not worth a damn. Just take a look at the tread pattern between the TSL's and the Thornturds, that will answer your question for ya.

I assume the engineer who designed the Thornturd's rotting skull is atop a pike outside the gates of Interco, warning all who enter never to commit so vile a transgression...

I didn't see the skull on the pike, but at the off road EXPO this weekend, even the Interco reps warned people that they weren't for mud or daily driving.

Bias ply TSL's suck in the snow, unless you groove/sipe them, and air em down low.

Thornbergs are best if you want a dirt cheap used off road tire. Pick them up for next to nothing and groove the heck out them.

Thornturds don't work good on any terrain.They're better suited for the "chromed out, bling-bling, show truck" world.

I bet those tires (the Tru-Tracs) are 30 years old.
