Interco rutinely undersize their tyres. They've been doing it for years. Some models and sizes have been fixed, but its still quite common.

A few years ago there were guys saying that they had bought a set of 5, and not one tyre was the same size as the others :? :roll:

I ran them on my V6 sierra for quite a while with mixed results. Some stuff was good, some bad. But the general opinion on them is once they reach 50% tread depth they are useless. You can re-groove them at that point and get a bit more life from them. Same applies to boggers.

Ooh ok. I've always like the TSL pattern and boggers, but both kinda seemed overkill. And from what I gathered, there not so great under 35s.
Just fishing around for weekend 31s :)

They still look pretty good and grippy IMO.

But then again, I have very basic maxxis mudders.
What did you pay for them?

i priced the intercos up - $360ea is around the average price in australia.

i've given up on running them though after a lot of bagging of their quality and on road characteristics, and as such am sticking with simex ET's.

If they came on a car for $250 I'd say they are pretty worn.

Thats only 12mm lost all round, so plus 7mm gives you a 19mm tread depth. Try and find out what depth they come out with new.
