TSLs, good enough like they are?

[BigClay]

I am picking up a set of TSLs to replace the BFG KM2s that were on my TJ when I bought it. Are the TSLs good enough in stock form for the wheeling we do around here, or should I look into siping the center lugs or even removing some of the lugs? This TJ will see mixed on and off road, probably 70% offroad and 30% onroad (hello summer!). What are your thoughts?

I was happy with the 33" TSL's on my 95 XJ, locked front & rear. Never thought they kept me from clearing an obstacle. Mine were uncut.

I grooved mine.

I ran unmolested SX's and never had a problem. I would think for any amount of on road use you would want to keep all of the lug you can. Siping on the other hand would probably only help things both on and off road.

Tsls work good stock. But tsls work AWSOME with the center of the center lugs cut out about 1/2" wide. Dont cut the outers.

Mine are Aetna cut and I would never go back thry work awesome

I would not run a heavily cut TSL on the road. The most I would do is cut the center lugs in half.

Going from km2's to tsls will be night and day anyway, leave them like they are or sipe them but don't go too crazy if it's a driver.
