I've not run the IROKs personally, but everyone that I know that has, LOVES them! They are a softer compund but since the gaps in between the lugs are smaller in comparison to the three-stage-lug setup, they're less likely the break off like the TSL's do (I've ripped entire lugs off of my tires in the past).

Most of the people that I know that run the IROKs, run the 42" size and primarily do rock crawling. They really like them a lot.

You SOOOOOOO HAVE TO SEND PICS when you get them mounted!

I think I may actually go with the TSL's again. Just because of the cost. I still have two good TSL's, just two are messed up bad. One has a flat spot something fierce and the other has a gash in the sidewall that goes all the way around the sidewall (from a root). They hold air for about 1 week without wheeling. Not good for me, maybe for spares. So it is only 800 bucks or so for two TSL's, or 1680 for 4 Iroks. Soooo...going with a bit of a budget, I will buy two new TSL's now, and two more in 6 weeks.

Thats the way it looks. And since we have more mud than rocks, I need something that will take the abuse a bit more. A few of the guys I know that do have them keep saying the sidewalls cut easily. Which is not an aspect I like. I have to pay alot to get heavy tires like those up here, and dont want to have to do it again for awhile....lol.

I doubt you'll be dissapointed either way. If you have more mud than rocks, then the TSL's will serve you a bit better anyhow.

When do we get to see some pics of your rig wheelin in the great white north?

Well, with being gone 3 weeks at a time, it is hard to get the dang thing complete. But it will be wheel-able this time home. So I will be getting pics of my next wheeling trip in the next 3 weeks or so. I am still on slope till the 1st unfortunately.
