can anyone tell me at what size the super swamper LTB goes from this tread pattern
(http://www.4x4land.com/graphics/tires/ltb.jpg)
to THIS tread pattern?

well the LTB's dont have much for opions in sizing. i think the 47" version has its own sort of tread. and all the small ones have their own.
-
I am guessing the first pic is the 34x9.5 and the second one is the 47
-
The 47's are the only ones that have the cool side wall design, but the other sizes work well
-
Those tires look round, there is no way those were made by Interco ;D
Are there any other tires that come in a 34" size? On a ZJ the difference between 34" and 35" can be more than $1000 is parts. If not, how are these on the road?

there is no 34x9.5 LTB or TSL. I think the only Swamper in that size (the tires that I have) are the "Special Service" Narrows (Narrow SS), these have they're own distinct pattern, more closely knit than the others.
But yea, I thought the special sidewall lugs where added at the 16/40 or 47" size. I know ranger danger is right about the 47, but I thought maybe the 40's too.

how are these on the road?
... wretched...

I think your jeep would look awesome with the 47's. go for it :)

I owned a set of LTB's on my tj a couple of years ago, I had the 31x11.50, then the 33x13.5 they do not ride nice at all first thing in the morning when they are cold of course, they level out after they get warm. Loud as hell, but they look very COOL awesome traction everywhere you go, I have nothing bad to say about them. My last set where mounted on 15x8 plain black steelies ran at 10psi offroad never dropped a bead and I would have to say that there the next best thing to a bogger without the thumping down the road. My two cents.

Per the Interco website above, the 01-09 series are the "old school" and the 200 series sizes are the "funky new" style.
16/40-15LT LTB-205 101 6 6 25/32 12.8 39.8 16.00 561 15X10-12 30 2535
OR
35x12.50-15LT LTB-206 67 6 6 24/32 9.8 35.2 12.10 624 15X8-10 30 2555
^^ so that would be the new style?
-
good luck finding the new 35" version. i heard some shop in the states bought them all. if oyu can get a set though go for it. they grab and dig very well, tough tire too!
-
I can get them but I'd have to check how far away they'd be. Are you looking for the LTB206?

yea I would be, but for down the road. I am just doing some research as usual before putting money on the table... as always.
** only if the come with the new sidewall lugs.
-
I'll see how far away they'd be and find out what they are worth. Are you contemplating Four or Fivve new shoes?
-
Hey FullMetalJeep maybe we can go in on a group buy I am in the market for a set of 35 myself and I can hold off till you are ready as well may be cheaper to orderr two sets I would like another set of LTB but being up here in GP it's pretty hard to come buy.
-

would be 5, but again, this wont happen anytime soon. I just like to research my stuff far in advance.

I talked to a lady @ Interco today. She indeed confirmed that the 200 series (35"+) LTB's have the new sidewall.
I asked her if she could recommend some company's that should stock large amounts of Interco tires, or the fastest way to get your paws on some, and she told me about 2 company's that put in some of the largest orders for the LDT tire line.

That's not a problem I am not In a hurry either when you are ready let me know, and I am in the same opinion I would like 5 as well, there maybe another guy up here that would be interested later on as well. Could put in a big order and bring down that price. Anyway drop me a PM when it is getting close and will talk more.
