Because I can. Have you ever owned them or do you just assume that they have no function? Do you know where I drive the truck that they are on? Do you know what truck they are on? "Thornturds" have a bad rep because word travels. One guy doesn't like them and then everybody follows right behind without any experience with claims like "Thornturds suck!" I don't want to hear how bad Thornbirds suck from another person that have never had them.

With that said.... I wouldn't put them on my DD truck. They are on my beater truck. I have never had a problem with them, but they just don't perform like an LTB.

Really? They wear great, ride decent, and perform decently off road as well. I'd say you are wrong, and even if I did waste my money what does that matter to you? I paid $100 each for them new. Tell me why I wasted my money. Be specific.

I have to agree that they suck. But that is from experience. They might have worked for you but sucked for me.

They wear "great" because the tread compound is super hard, other then that I disagree, I have had 3 friends who wasted their money by buying them. They all actually wheel and found out very quick that thornbirds dont have any traction offroad or on. Not to mention you could have bought a set of LTB's for a little more a tire and had a tire that actually works.

Ah yes, they are a very hard compound. They also have small voids and very large tread "blocks". There is a lot of tire touching the road. This doesn't mean it is a bad tire. They are on a truck that is primarily street driven, NOT my blue truck which I wheel often. Thornbirds do work. They might not be the best tire out there, but neither are a lot of tires that people on here buy.

my buddy had a jeep with thornbirds and them seem to work ok for him when we went wheeling. i agree that there not the best tires for off road but they were no where near the worst.
