My Interco Swamper LTBs came in a few days ago. I fell in love with them as them UPS man was unloading them off the truck. The pictures on the Interco site and in the Truck Mags don't do them justice. They make the Dak look like a new truck. Best of all 4 of them to the door were $442.00. I was dead set on lifting my truck and 33s until I bought these tires. I've had about 20 compliments in the last 2 days, even one from a fellow in a suit and a Mercedes at the mall. No rub lock to lock with a torsion bar levelling even after a little 4 wheeling. Size is 31x11.5x16. Think now I'm just going to get a nice set of wheels in 16x8. They ride almost as well as my RTSs did.
Buy these tires if:
1. You want the most aggressive tires you can put on your stock truck.
2. You want everyone staring at you at the stoplight (especially other Dak owners).
3. You're tired of running the same MTs and ATs as everone else.
4. You like to hear the tires hum as you roll down the highway. A little louder than my Flowmaster exhaust.
5. You don't want to get stuck.
6. You want tires that don't sick 4" out of you wheelwells.
7. You want a set of tires that are about $300.00 cheaper.
8. You want your truck to ride like a truck.
I drive 35 miles to work each way and no problems so far. Getting ready to do a 200 mile road trip and I'll see how they do. I'll keep you posted on how well the do in mud/snow (if we get any) and how well they wear. The difference in looks is incredible. I've even had other truck owners ask me when I bought the 33s or how much did I lift it. You guys wanting to keep the truck stock or waiting for that illusive suspension lift may want to consider this alternative.

Sorry for the long delay but I've been very busy at work. Everywhere I go I am still constantly getting compliments on the tires. Sorry for no pics, but I don't have a digital camera or a scanner. All I can say is they're absolutely the best looking tires I've seen on a stock height dakota. The only thing I've done so far suspension wise is level with torsion bars. With 50 psi they run almost the same on the road as the RT/Ss except a little more vibration. Good on the road in the rain. After 200 miles they still haven't worn any. Absolutely awesome in the mud. After a panic stop I can tell you they grab pretty well. One word of caution don't buy these tires if you don't like the noise or if you drive a lot of the time over 65. They seem to be the best at 60. They are very loud at 30 and 55 MPH. Loud enough to make people turn their heads in cars with the windows up. The Interco site (www.intercotire.com) has the specs, actual sizes and pics. I bought mine from National Tire and Wheel out of West Virginia (www.natltire.com). They are about $99.00 each plus shipping. They aren't for everyone, but they are awesome tires. Jim
