This is a unique off-road mud tire from Interco. I would say not a tire, but a blank because an excellent rubber toothy gear can be cut out of it, which will go where others will get washed out. This is done by cutting out small checkers. It becomes almost unsuitable for driving on asphalt.
All-season off-road mud tire with directional tread pattern.
This SUV tire is specially designed for swamps and clay. They easily allow you to get out of the very deep rut "with a simple turn of the steering wheel." But for the fantastic cross-country ability in the swamps, you have to pay with a noticeable buzz when driving on the asphalt and not very good handling on it. Due to the softness of rubber, which is essential when driving off-road, tires quickly wear off when driving on asphalt.
The most common size is 33-37 inches.
When the pressure drops to 0.3, the tire flattens well and starts paddling with side sipes, which makes it even more passable.
TSL is truly an off-road classic. Nine years of research have led to the development of three-level side lugs, which allow the tire to maintain high traction regardless of the type of ground. Sand, clay, snow, swamp carpet, there is no surface that Super Swamper TSL does not obey. The excellent off-road qualities of this rubber are confirmed by the fact that being one of the first developments of Interco, the tire continues to enjoy enviable demand and popularity among athletes and travelers for many decades. Perhaps no other tire can be found on the market with such a long lifetime and such stable popularity.
This family is best suited for rocky terrain and riding on rocks and rocks. Reinforced sidewalls with additional spikes. Very heavy tires.
About company
The post-war years, thanks to the unsaturation of the market, served as the impetus for the founding of many American companies. This includes the Interco Tire Corporation.
- Founded in 1947 in Louisiana.
- At first, the main activity of the company was the retail sale of car tires.
- It first established itself as a tire manufacturer only in 1968, when it launched the first model of its tires for pickup trucks and light trucks. Thus, he founded the 78 series of tires.

Overall, the tread pattern of these tires is not beyond reason. Because the most "Off-road" lovers of mud, clay, swamps ride on SUPER Swamper TSL - BIASs - this is kind of "overkill".
- About 80% of all sporting off-road vehicles are equipped with this brand of tires.
Tire features
At the first accidental glance of a professional at Interco SUPER Swamper TSL - BIAS, it immediately becomes clear to him that this tire is not for the city. It was created by the manufacturer as a professional sports rubber for off-road tracks.
The exterior design of this tire should be given credit. He's pretty aggressive.
A distinctive feature of Super Swamper tires is every third tread tooth, which is directed to the side, which allows the car to freely get out of the track and overcome obstacles with a vertical slope.
Positioned by the manufacturer as one of the best after SUPER Swamper TSL - BIAS in cross-country ability. But unlike the latter, they are more versatile. Better "flatten". Much less noise on the asphalt. But at present, they are not very popular with us for at least two reasons. The first is that the regular Super Swamper TSL has the best price/permeability ratio and a large number of sizes available.
Second, the Super Swamper TSL SSR has better road performance, although it is noticeably more expensive. While the Radial's sidewalls are less protected than the plain TSL's, they are more durable (and stiffer) than the SSR's. Recommended for serious off-road and road traffic.
One of the most famous owners of Super Swamper BIAS, spoke about these tires in July 2000: ". On stone and concrete - just super - practically does not slip, does not break, with strong crossing, it perfectly paddles with a sidewall - but with driving on asphalt the car terribly "sausage" until the tires warm up, give a strong vibration and are very stiff at a road pressure of 1.5 - 1.7 atm. At low pressure, it flattens well - reduced to 0.2, rarely disassembled in a rut. BIAS works on clay, but not as confidently as the SUPER Swamper TSL - BIAS - because of too rare lugs - the cargoes in tension. "
