TSL's are the best all around off road tire imo for the kind of riding we do mostly. I like the rocks better than mud, it's just something we have to deal with here, and I wanna keep my rig versatile. The Reds wouldn't be worth a fawk on a sloppy day where we do most of our riding :****: Boggers and TSLs are pretty much king in these parts unless you unload your rig and spend the whole day on the same 50 yard rock garden.

You are trying to say the Indiana is wetter and sloppier than the deep south???? I have never heard of such

I'm in Indiana too. Southern part but still muddy and not much rock. Anyway...my vote is 37 red. After the harlan hardline mud fest I started looking for reds. In the slop we rode in they did great from what I saw. Look at the thread pics. I rationalized that by going reds I'd have the ultimate tire for southern trips and a damn good tire for muddy local trips. (Which I try to avoid altogether). Anyway...I have some reds now, wheeled in some slop over thanksgiving weekend and I'm happy I bought them.
37 reds are gonna be pretty damn close to the same size as 38" tsl's....so if you're worried about fitment, you'll encounter the same thing. 37 reds are noticably taller than 36 bias tsl's.Pock said:The Reds would also cost me a new set of 17" wheels. That setup just isn't in the budget at this point. I've just about decided to stick with the 36's. It's the simplest thing to do for now. As much as I'd like to see the 38's on it, I keep finding reasons to talk myself out of it. Maybe I'll look for a good used set of Reds and 17's a little later down the road as a 2nd set for those trips down south
