Super Swamper Tires
Super swamper tires are one of the most aggressive of all off road tires. While they are DOT
legal (street legal), these tires are really designed for the serious off road enthusiast. The truth is,
there is just no other tire that can slash through mud like a set of super swamper tires. If you do a lot of
street driving, these are not tires that you want on the street. They are generally known for having a smooth
quiet ride when compared to traditional mudder tires, but are still quite a bit louder than an
all-terrain.
Super Swamper Tires generally have a designation of TSL, meaning “Three Stage Lug”. As you can
see in the image above, these large lugs offer both extreme traction, and a better ride, since the middle
lugs overlap, so as to prevent the typical noise you’d get with a tire like the TSL Bogger.
There are several types of super
swamper tires manufactured by Interco. Below I’ve listed some of the more popular models that you will likely
see on the trail, as well as the product description from the manufacturer’s website.
Original Super Swamper TSL
The original Super Swamper TSL (first image above) was first created in the year
1970. It was the first 78 series full traction tire introduced.
The original Swamper tire is the most copied and imitated of all RV traction tires. The Super Swamper TSL,
when compared to the Swamper, offers even more ... increased mileage, deeper treads, quieter, smoother ride,
less rolling resistance and tougher sidewalls. The original TSL super swamper tires are now only available by
special order.
Super Swamper TSL BOGGER
The Super Swamper TSL/BOGGER (middle image above) is built primarily for the professional mud
bogger. The tire is versatile... D.O.T. approved and street legal... easy to modify for the cut, open, and
pro stock classes. A new design for a new generation of competition performance. These tires are not very well suited for highway driving, as they are very
loud, and tend to “howl” as you drive. However, people who are
buying these super swamper tires generally know exactly what they are getting themselves in
to.
Super Swamper TSL Radial
The Super Swamper TSL Radial (third image above) is the most aggressive light truck tire ever
developed. It is designed for a very smooth ride at surprisingly low noise level. It is based on the
principles of the original Swamper 78 series, which quite literally were known for breaking new ground in the
mud tire industry. The Super Swamper TSL Radio offers
unsurpassed traction under the toughest conditions, yet for a swamper, it offers surprisingly good on-road
handling and noise levels.
