do LTBs self clean? im gonna get a 3" lift to fit 33" so id would have to get 33x13.50. would those look too wide on my 4runner? Ill mostly be drivin on road and mudding. so are the LTBs better than the TSL or TSL radials? which will last longer or is it about same

measure from the inside of the wheel where it meets the hub(the bolt area) to the inside edge of the wheel.
Yes LTBs self clean, most swampers do. As far as 13.5 wide go you're going to need new wheels and be dure to get proper BS, I'd go for the 34x10.5s they're not that much bigger but the narrowness will fit better. I'll go measure the BS on my wheels and see what I'm running.(BTW I only have a 2 " BL and can stuff em fine anfter pulling the fender liners and beating down the pinchweld.)
What are you calling the TSL...Interco currently doesn't make a tire just called TSL, but they make a Super Swamper. Is that what you're referring to? if so then they will wear fastest then LTBs then radials
If you get radials get TSL radials not SSRs

I'm running 3.5" or so of BS (hard to measure cause the tires bulge on the sides)

TSL is for short....rather than saying Super Swamper TSL...or Super Swamper LTB. Interco makes them all.

Thornbirds are great for everything except driving in any condition!

TSL simply means Three Stage Lugs, its Intercos outside tread block design. Yes they are very close to the same just LTBs have diff sizes and the largest of the TSLs sticks out more

I ran the Trxus M/T's for about 1.5 years. I loved them. They are quite on road and they kick but off road. They look really good because of the biting edges that they brought down onto the side of the tire. They also have part of the three stage lug (TSL) technology in them and have three different sizes of lugs on the sides. I know that this is the tire that I'm going to be getting again and will always run. Best bang for the buck IMO.
