I looked on a few websites looking through tsl radial/bias and ltb's for the 35x12.5 r 15 size and it seems they aren't made. Yet i see people selling 35x12.5r15 tsl's and ltb's on local 4x4 forums and craigslist quite a bit. Does anyone know the story to this? 35x12.5 r 15 is a very popular size also... Thanks.

I'm tire shopping is why i'm asking.

 

They are still made, what sites have you looked at?

 

www.intercotire.com this is the people that make then

 

Not all sites show the full line of tire sizes.

Also, for awhile, Interco was having trouble getting their tires made.

 

The LTBs are a bias ply tire and I've never seen a 35x12.5 15 LTB although Interco shows them on their website, and as far as I know TSL bias come in a 15/35 15 but no 35x12.5 15s. The TSL radials also don't come in 35x12.5 r15, but the SSR intercos come in a radial 35x12.5 r15 with 3 ply sidewalls.

 

Lol...im aware of what their company name is this but thank you.

And I've looked on 4wp and numerous google searches, no one lists that size. I even called my local 4wp and they told me they aren't made anymore. I would like to see a link of a place who sells 35x12.5 15 tsls or ltbs. I see 35x12.5 15 tsls and ltbs for sale on craigslist here and there. Id love to have a set of ltbs since my jeep is a strict trail rig.

 

tire rack has some

I'm not asking about any of those tires. I'm asking about super swamper tsl's and ltb's...

 

This is what i was told on another forum. I know interco went bankrupt and something about a bunch of tire sizes were lost. I could not see why they would ditch 35x12.5 15, which is a very popular size, on a couple of their most popular tires.

I will be going with 36x12.5 tsl radials or 36x13.5 iroks, i just wanted to know if anyone knew the story behind my orginal question as it made me very sad to not see those sizes being made

they sell them but they are out of stock? i read somewhere that interco moved one of their factory's over seas and a lot of company's quite selling them... i don't know about any truth to that... why are you so dead set on these tires... I've been running the dick cepec crushers for almost a year and i am truly impressed with them... they are always a good option

 

You sure about that? It was only a yr or so ago when Denman Tire (makers of the Ground Hawg for those that may not know) went under and was bought out by Interco, seems odd that they would do that if they were in some financial "hot water" themselves. I do know from my involvement in the ATV world Interco moved most/all their molds from Mexico to India last year. Interco Vampires and Vampire EDLs especially were darn near impossible to find for about 6 months right after that, the EDLs are a favorite among the ATV mud racers who were all complaining about it all over the HighLifter forums. Their ATV tire production seems to have caught up so to speak with the demand, I wonder if the truck tire side of things is just being slower to catch up since there is more people looking for truck mud tires then ATV mud tires.

 

They are a couple of the best tires for east coast style wheeling. Plus the only tires I've owned that impress me and withstan my punishment. Idk much about those dick cepeks but I doubt they'd hang with me or my club. But yeah that's what im thinking, they just dropped the size through all that political crap they went through.

Oh well...thanks for the responses some of you. Just picked up some 36x12.5 tsls so that'll do I guess lol.

 

Im no expert but I just remember seeing threads on pirate about their financial troubles.

 

they are better then people think plus i dont have to buy new tires every 15k miles, but to each is their own

 

My jeep only sees road time when traveling to trails (if i don't trailer) and seldomly to the grocery store and what not on weekends. That's the difference between a trail rig and a dd/dual purpose rig. But i will give credit that they could be like a radial bogger or something based on the looks. But i've never seen them on the trails and i'm sure there's a reason why.

And to answer my own question, i contacted interco on this issue and they responded by saying they expect to resume production on this size for the LTB in the fall. I've already got my money ready, cannot wait lol.
