- We cut the 40" Super Swamper TSL SX2's on Lil Sketchy (97 jeep Wrangler TJ) to see if we can get them to hook up better on the rocks! see how it turns out, what breaks, and stay tuned for the next video of how they do on the trails!

pretty sure thats gonna make a big difference in the way they do now. ive been contemplating buying some and doing that also.
we'll see, should be getting back out on the trails at the end of the month. hopefully they do better!
Jesus those things are brand new. I’m a stihl guy myself but to each their own.
They only had a few trips on them haha. But they hook up way better now that they are cut, let's the tire flex much more. I don't really have a preference on most tools, whatever works for a good price is a win for me. But Stihl is definitely quality stuff, no argument here.
@@SketchyJeeps awesome bud! Keep up the good content & good footage.
@@SassyMudTruckDegenerateDumbFk thank you! We really appreciate the kind words.
Almost bought those tires to replace my old SX's. Kind of glad I didn't at this point if you're saying they're really hard.
hands down the SX would be better. we should be getting these tires out on the trail the end of this month to see how the new cut works. they are a hard compound though so we're hoping this helps.
I actually came here for inspiration on cutting my RC tires lol. Sick rock rings btw!
They basically look like RC tires now haha 😂 they do alot better with the cut. Thanks!
@@SketchyJeeps this video was made a while ago, how are you liking these now they are worn alot more
@@jeeplivion they have done a whole lot better, aired down to about 5-7 PSI, they are still a hard compound, but they hook up way better than before. It's a trail rig only so they still look about the same as in the video as far as treadwear. She gets them smoking good on the rocks to get them sticky.
Shit I didn't even know you guys had a channel.. it's sweet I like the content!
we just doin our thing like always lol
thanks!
Hell yeah brother keep it up
Air down to 1-2psi. Drive around in a field for 20-30 min to break in the sidewall and carcass. If you only air down to 10psi the sidewall never flexs enough to full break in and soften. Swampers have a thick carcass and this will help a huge amount by doing this. Once theyre broke in try 6-8psi and see how they do.
They do much better now after the cut. we usually run them at about 3-4 psi. They still suck, but now they suck less lol.
Live life sketchy! Dope
thanks man!
Love you style Bro👍❤️😃🤘🏻💪
thanks boss!
My TH-cam opinion would be to center sipe the tire
This makes more square edges to contact road trail sand surfaces and also will maintain a cooler and more consistent wear pattern
Always happy to here suggestions! Currently we are about at our last straw with these tires. They are just so hard they don't hook. Going to be exploring the idea of slapping some softening compound on them and see what happens!
Did you ever try any softening compounds to see if it helped any on these SX2's?
Still haven't had a chance, do you know of anything that works?
@@SketchyJeeps
I don't yet but if I find something I'll let you know, just got a set in 37x14.5, I didn't realize they are that stiff, I'm definitely cutting/grooving them.
@@BSF628 it helps, the tire flexes better and grips better. But it's still a hard compound.
Looks sweet though puts me in the mind of thr atv carnivore tire
yeah it's way more agressive now.
What size are the tires? Looks like 37 on 16 inch
40x13.50 17s.

thanks for watching we appreciate it!
You need more rubber to grab on the rocks. You just turned your tsl into a bogger lol
the issue with the tires has been that the middle of the tires dont grab, if the SX2 wasn't such a hard compound tire, I would agree with you. but this cut should give the tread blocks room to flex and grab. well see! heading to Harlan, KY this month to see how they do.
That's good to hear, but unfortunately ours were never a soft compound. But they do way better now that we cut them.
It’s dangerous
Isn’t it?
@@nicknabors3307 not really, cutting tires is no different than cutting any other material, just gotta be careful.
No its not.
