I'd be cautious with a cut sidewall. Would be ok as a spare though.

TSL's suck for a daily driver anyway. I had 36" tsl radials for a while.

I wheel with a feller that has 1 sliced and patched tire and one that has a stick shoved thru it and patched. they were both stitched and hot patched VERY NICELY. i'm not 100% sure how it was done or who he had do it but he hasnt had an issue since they were done. He tends to be a bit hard on his rig since he's running a 4 banger and 33's he has a hard time keeping all the tire's churning being locked front and rear

You could hot knife the claws to get a bit more use out of them. I took a grinder to mine to get back some of the biting edges.

Redrilled Explorer setup.
I did some research. Thought about running 97+ 8.8. They have discs, but they have a metric bolt pattern and require a minimum 16" rim. So I looked into the Explorer setup. The center hole on the rotor needs enlarged, or the hub on the shaft turned down. Then redrill the rotors and thats it, its bolt on from there and I can keep my 15" rims.

Nope, you need a thingabob, to fit in to the ring-a-jinger- to hold that gizmo in to the doo-dad.
