Looking for an agressive yet functional MT
How agressive is the Swamper TSL Radial I know they kick butt in mud but do they look MEAN? How about the Dick Cepek Crusher or Procomp Xmud terrian?
Thanks and anyone with those tires please post pics

If you want looks and traction, the mad dogs have gotten favorable reviews. I haven't used them myself. TSLs are good in mud, I imagine the radial version is just as good or better. Haven't used the radial version.
I wanted a streetable mud tire in a small size and settled on the maxxis bighorn. It looks nice, it is not that loud on the highway at 55, and it gets good traction in clay type mud. It has close to 1" between tread lugs and a deep tread.
I don't have the horsepower to run big tires or to spin them properly in deep mud, but, the Bighorns have been good in a forest/off road setting in mud and leaves. Many times I don't use 4x4 in my backyard (clay mud, leaves, roots) unless I am pulling a trailer.
I bought the radial SSR in 33x12.50x16.5, they looked nice AND they had good off road traction. Probably a bit better in mud then the Bighorns, less traction on wet pavement though and not as round and takes a lot of weights. I would buy them again.
I don't buy them because they no longer have small sizes (especially radials), but, imho, other then a Bogger, nothing gets better mud traction then a Groundhawg. Plus, they look good :-)
For an ice and snow plow truck studded Buckshot mudders are nice :-)
