ive got a buddy that ordered 33X13.50 LTBs, and got them the other day. problem is they say TSL on the side. to ltbs since theyre the "new" tsl stil say tsl on the side, or did they send him the wrong thing

they ARE 33X13.50s, which i didn't think they made in TSLs

The LTBs I used have said TSL on the sidewall. Mine when new said LTB on tread lugs. HTH.

The LTB's tread is slightly different, the center chevrons are kind of angled and offet compared to a TSL.

TSL = Three Stage Lug

It's just the design of the tire...three different lug sizes.

they are LTBs. for example, boggers also say TSL.

Yes, the TSL design is copyrighted by Interco, but the basic bias mud tire is a TSL. The SX, Bogger, and Thornbird are also TSL's, but the basic TSL mudder is just called a TSL.

The LTB actually does have a slightly different tread, as well as some oddball sizes that the TSL does not come in.
