A new bias tire with slightly more aggressive tread than the regular Super Swamper TSL. Additional "aggressiveness" is achieved due to the more developed side lugs of the tire tread. The model is currently available in seven sizes, which are not available on the Super Swamper TSL.
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.
- Is the only privately-owned company in the tire industry with wholly-owned shares.
- Holds a leading position in the development and production of tires for pickups and SUVs not only in the United States but also in the world.
- In addition, Interco produces a whole series of tires for extreme moto and jeepers, as well as for various agricultural machinery.
- The imprint of the Super Swamper tread pattern can be found not only on off-road tracks all over the world but also on T-shirts and T-shirts of fans and professionals of many famous off-road athletes. This drawing has become an unspoken symbol among extreme car enthusiasts all over the planet.
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 LTBs - 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 LTB, it immediately becomes clear to him that this tire is definitely 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.
The appearance of the tire did not deceive - it showed itself perfectly in a rut, on stones, and clay. When driving on asphalt, it makes a lot of noise (buzzing). It is almost useless to balance a wheel with this tire. The tread depth in the center of the tire is approximately 17-18 mm.
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.
The most popular tire models are Super Swamper TSL, Super Swamper TSL SUPER Swamper LTB, Super Swamper TSL SSR, and Super Swamper TrXus MT. The organizers of the stages of the championship and the Cup of Russia in trophy-raids (for example, "Ladoga Trophy") offer participants deep ruts, swamps, clay, and rocky slopes, difficult terrain, etc. as insurmountable obstacles. The Super Swamper TSL and Super Swamper TSL SUPER Swamper LTB bias tires are among the best for all of these misfortunes. INTERCO Super Swamper TSL tires have excellent flotation and a relatively low price.
Excellent off-road qualities are combined with softness, good handling, and comparative quietness when driving on asphalt. It is the best choice for serious expeditions, off-road travel, extreme outdoor activities, hunting, and fishing in places "where no man has gone before." All of the above Super Swamper families, except TrXus MT, require careful handling of the gas pedal on soft ground and swamps - the digging ability of these tires is too high. It is also desirable that the machine that will spin these wheels has sufficient traction at low rpm.
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.
INTERCO SUPER Swamper LTB is very similar to TSLCs. Everything is roughly the same: bias, non-directional tires. The appearance is practically indistinguishable from TSL (the difference lies in the longer length of the side protrusions, due to which greater aggressiveness is achieved). The declared dimensions are very different from the real ones, mainly in the smaller direction (on average by 1 inch). Super Swamper LTB tires are usually poorly balanced. When driving on asphalt, the steering wheel may "beat". Also, these tires wear out rather quickly.
In 2010-2011 Super Swamper LTB tires were not supplied due to the transfer of tire production from one Interco plant to another.
In 2012, production and supply of Super Swamper LTB tires were resumed and many popular sizes were reintroduced.
