What do people think?
Anyone had any personal experience using them?
How do they compare to a normal tsl?
Size is 34x9.5
Would be fitted to a Sierra.
Thanks in advance

I've seen them on a V6 Holden powered Hilux and they worked really well when you have a wet surface with a hard base. But they dig holes fast if it is soft with no base.

they're great on a suzuki, in either 15" or 16" I've built cars running both.
My Dad ran them on a 80 series, that's pushing it a bit, but on a sierra they're ideal - not too wide and the right height.
I think they might be the best size tyre possible for a sierra for all round work. Easier to fit than a 34 10.5 LTB, nowhere near as hard on the car as a Q78 (or as hard to fit) and will even go on a stock suzuki rim.
Mine are currently on a 16X4.5 stock Sierra 1.0 rim (woudln't recommend it though) , but will be on 16X6 V6 vitara alloys soon enough.
The 15's are fine on sierra 5.5" rims, and happy up a 7.
They bag fine once you get into the single digit pressures.
Steve.

Thanks for the replies.
Anyone have a picture of one fitted to a sierra?
Just like to get a bit more of an idea as to what they look like, rather than the poor pictures of interco's website.
Cheers

Thanks Steve.
Big help with the pics. Gives me a bit more of an idea of what the rubber actually looks like and what needs to be done.
Cheers Paul.
